You may have a brain, but it doesn't work at all.

You described me as all giddy over the suggestions I made to you. Insulting at best since all I was doing was offering help from my experience which you rejected as stupid on its face.

All I said was you may have perfect vision but use it very selectively. All new things are not trash, I can give you thousands of thing that you won't try that are infinitely better than the products/ideas you embrace.

I don't want to see the pimples/skin flaws on the people on the screen, nor every blade of grass.

There are a lot of solutions for that problem beginning with the off switch but declaring you prefer a lousy picture because you may not want to see the flaws in the actors is just silly.

there is NO WAY that you or anyone else here can or should attempt to refute my statement about the supposed "quality" of the picture on my T.V.s!

Frankly no one has to refute the quality of your picture, you define exactly a decidedly inferior picture that is solely defined buy the equipment you say you have. That is an unquestionable fact. You may be happy with that, your choice, but it is inferior, pure and simple. The fact that you can buy 4k TVs for $300.00 lets anyone see he difference. My first 1080 P 55 inch TV went for nearly $3,000.00 but I bought a 43 inch for my wife's computer a couple weeks ago for $223.00 at Walmart. That changed her computer experience for the better.

The newest computer I have is a 2010 model the older ones are over 12 years old. The TVs are a couple years old and for me currently there is little advantage to move to 4K since none of my Macs have a Video card to provide good performance at 4K, maybe someday. You like could learn a lot on YouTube maybe even see new things you would never have thought of and find them useful.

Sadly you sound somewhat like a closet Luddite.

Please DO make me a list of ALL of the marvelous crap you imagine is oh SO much better than what I own. I truly want to know what they are.

You don't know the first thing about me, so I'll recap some of the things I listed here and some that I haven't. Perhaps you can then figure out just WHY you are making suggestions to someone, with extremely different taste and needs from you.

We don't want wall sized T.V.s, nor even just slightly smaller ones than that. But we don't have oldish, cheapo crapola either.

I watch news, pretty old movies, discs of very old movies, and Brit and Aussies shows. During the season, I watch baseball. I DON'T NEED CRAZY MICROSCOPIC KIND OF RECEPTION FOR WHAT I WATCH !

Just WHERE did I EVER say that I don't watch some YouTube stuff? I do, on my laptop and what I do watch, there's less than NO need for some overtly large screen.

And as far as "learning" things.....you could stand some remedial reading comprehension classes, as well as classes in etiquette, and what people from different classes find "important"/needed to buy; though nowadays, our culture is so debased, that money, or lack thereof is hardly a criteria for many things.

You bet that I'm a bit of a Luddite and PROUD of it! There are many items, that are now no longer available, that were far better than their present day replacements...IF there even ARE any replacements to be had.

But unlike you, I shan't waste any bandwidth, telling you why and how much you are wrong; but I'll leave you with this: different people have different wants and needs and one size doesn't fit all.
