Here's my TV: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16889253160
It's a hand-me-down from when my grandmother died, and I use it as a second monitor. (I don't actually have any television service.)
It is very heavy and probably couldn't be wall-mounted. Also, it's only 720p, and it's only 32". Now that I've finally upgraded my PC, I'd like to purchase a 50-inch 4k display, but I'm hesitant to do so, and there are two major reasons:
#1 Glare. All the televisions and displays I've seen are just... well they have lots of glare. But my old 2008 television has basically none---or, if it does have any glare, I can't see it myself.
#2 Viewing angle. All the displays I've seen at Best Buy and Walmart, and even in reviews online, have only a range of viewing angles. But my old 2008 TV can be viewed from all angles, without any sacrifice.
I honestly don't understand this. Clearly, the TV I have must use some sort of different technology.
It is very distressing, because I know this thing is on its last legs. It gets very hot, and has had occasional issues turning on or blacking out. So, sooner or later, I will have to replace it. I don't understand why I can't find something equally wonderful in what will soon be 2022.
Thoughts?
