        one day my 2006 42" sony bravia is going to die. I will be very sad I have to by some new age bullshit, but at the very least ill be happy I dont have to deal with their spyware posing as convenience when the TV is permanently set to input 1 lol.

        …thinking about it, maybe I should buy a new TV now, just incase the TV’s 5 years from now dont allow you to play from a physical input connection. Like a preemptive move in the endless game of enshitification chicken were all playing with companies.

        I’m happy for you but unfortunately this isn’t a solution for me, because old PCs don’t have HDMI 2.1 support. I would have to buy a modern GPU, and I rather not spend hundreds.

      Old computers don’t have HDMI 2.1 support, silly. I’d have to buy a modern GPU, and I don’t want to spend hundreds just for a slightly faster interface.

        Hmm, well when u get a new card u can toss the old one into another computer.

        Or you can use any vid card since 07 with a display port to HDMI 2.1 adapter
