The distance and the budget call for 75-85". I have had good luck with an entry level Sony. I bought an X85K 85" two years ago. It’s one step above the cheapest model. The cheapest model was an IPS panel which had a bit shittier performance. I don’t recall in what regard. X85K is a Samsung panel. It’s a standard no-nonsense LED side backlight which is very robust over time. The original unit was a lemon. It developed a line across the screen. I got it replaced under warranty. The second unit has been flawless so far. Software-wise, it’s a bog-standard Android TV/Google TV. Doesn’t require Internet connection to setup. With that said I use a CCwGTV with it and I don’t hear a peep from the TV OS about anything. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the price at the time.

- Comment on CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% 1 month ago:
Why would it be fixed through shareholder voting? Most employees aren’t represented in those votes. The major shareholders have fundamentally different interests that are opposed to the interests of the employees. If employees were a majority shareholder, then that could work, but that’s almost never the case.

- Comment on These repairable phones still aren't built to last 2 months ago:
No question. All I’m saying is it’s not feasible or truthful for the device OEM to claim they can support longer than the SoC vendor supports the proprietary SoC bits.
- Comment on These repairable phones still aren't built to last 2 months ago:
The software support hinges on SoC vendor support. You can only support it as long as the SoC vendor supports the SoC. Afterwards you can provide quasi support, for the upper OS layer only. Critical modem vulnerability past that point? SOL. I’m not aware of the current vendor support across brands but the last time I checked QC offered ~3 years and I think that’s from introduction of the SoC, not when it shipped in devices. I don’t know if anyone who sells their SoC offers longer support. It’s sad stuff.

Leftist parties loyal to the president have their highest number of legislative seats in Colombia’s history, but they lack the 50% majority needed to pass legislation on their own and have been forced to bargain with parties on the center and the right.
- Comment on Teamsters social media attacks leader over Republican convention speech 3 months ago:
Watching the speech I felt he’s working for a better deal for workers. But then this:
O’Brien rejected criticism of his appearance at the convention.
He said: “I don’t care about getting criticized. Its an honor to be the first Teamster in our 121-year history to address the Republican national convention. Think about this. The Teamsters are doing something correct if the extremes in both parties think I shouldn’t be on this stage,” he continued.
Sounds sus.
