Theres a ton of other things I want my TV to do before more pixels.
Actual functional software would be nice, better tracking on high speed shots (in particular sweeping landscapes or reticles in video games) higher frame rates and variable frame rate content, make the actual using of the tv, things like changing inputs or channels faster, oh man so much more.
Anything but more pixels.
you do not want software on your TV.
I want software on my TV.
Steam Link specifically. I like streaming to my TV via Ethernet.
So get a device that can do that. You didn't need a piece of software that will never see an update to do this.
It's funny that you think smart TVs don't receive updates. It's got a wifi chip for a reason.
Tvs can last 20 years you'll be lucky to get 2 years of updates
My TV isn't going to update because it's been lobotomized.
That's not what you said. You said they never receive updates.
You're thinking of a different commentor I did not say that
