    Honestly I never watch TV aside from anime and I live alone so a simple PC monitor works fine even if I’m just playing console games ultimately the only time I see myself needing a monitor the size of a TV is when I’m sharing a screen with 4 or more people otherwise PC monitors are high definition and don’t have any of this bloatware and even if you don’t play videogames a simple laptop that can run a Internet browser can get you everything you want to watch and have addblock on top of that quite frankly I’m sure if someone started selling something that can make your phone output a HDMI output will instantly kill the smart TV market

      That’s the longest run in sentence I’ve seen in awhile. Now reformatted with punctuation and discrete sentences!

      Honestly, I never watch TV aside from anime and I live alone so a simple PC monitor works fine, even if I’m just playing console games. Ultimately, the only time I see myself needing a monitor the size of a TV is when I’m sharing a screen with 4 or more people; otherwise, PC monitors are high definition and don’t have any of this bloatware. Even if you don’t play videogames, a simple laptop that can run an Internet browser can get you everything you want to watch and have adblock on top of that. Quite frankly, I’m sure if someone started selling something that can make your phone output an HDMI output, it will instantly kill the smart TV market.

      Anyhow, HDMI output from phones has existed for years and it’s not an uncommon feature. I can connect my Samsung S22 to my TV both wired and wirelessly.
