  There’s always the option of using computer monitors or projectors.

    Or Sceptre if you want a non-smart TV.

    True. I use a cheap computer monitor for myself, and since I live like a hermit it isn’t really a problem for me. Aren’t projectors more expensive than cheap 1080p TVs?

      I picked up a projector on sale for $50 on Newegg, usually I think they’re like $80 or something. Only problem is, I don’t know how to get the dust out of the inside of the projector lens. I’ve tried spraying canned air into the cracks around it, but it didn’t work. I even took the thing apart intending to wipe it down myself, but I couldn’t figure out how to get to the back of the lens.

      Still, for $50 it’s not too bad. The little bits of dust are kind of annoying, but they’re not in focus and it’s pretty alright for watching movies.
