dod9er··on CES 2018: Look to the Processor, Not the Display, for TV Picture Improvements
Its always about the buzzwords... a few years ago I tried to buy a TV without 3D-support because I didn´t want to spend the money on a useless feature (for me). Guess what, no major brand offered a TV without 3D, I ended up buying the usual suspect. But now the situation has improved ! It got easy again to buy a TV without 3D-support at least :D Same for the current must-have features...

I think the common nerd would love a dumb display with decent calibration etc. out-of-the-box, so he could just connect his favorite media-box and have fun for a reasonable price. But this isn´t where the profits are made!

edit: Because you could just replace your mediabox after a few years, when e.g. netflix stops playing on it. I´m really waiting for a new player who gives us this dumb high-quality display so many nerds are waiting for.

don´t give them ideas... I see great new benchmarks with every security-incident.

Someone already pointed out the differences? What kind of optimisations are done to qualify a new spinoff?

When seeing the components the first thing that came to my mind was "outdated", afterwards I saw the article is from 2016. If someone is interested in a more sophisticated approach he might want to check out the RotorX Atom: https://rotorxracing.com/products/rx122diypr-atom-diy-kit-wi...

pi-hole was also the first thing that came to my mind. They should setup a feature version on 9.9.9.13 with the same blacklists as a pi-hole :)
