An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I didn't ask him, I just did the thing. Like hell, I got tired of some of the buttons randomly not working.
Now every button works perfectly, plus I did a little modding to make it work at a broader angle...
Well, yes, there's been several big advances in TV since the FHD era: 4K, HDR, all sorts of improvements to sound; We've got 8K support showing up in high end stuff now. Hell there was 3D knocking around for a minute that's been and gone already in that time.
Old doesn't mean "not fit for purpose" or anything, if it works, it works and if you don't need anything else, no need to replace it. However, 16 years old for a piece of entertainment tech is pretty far from what anyone would consider new
Man we got more TV's than we know what to do with. We only have two connected, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Then we have at least 3 spare TVs put off in the closets (most of those are newer I think), 4 if you count the old CRT television with built in DVD player.
The spare TVs just need either feet, stands or wall mounts, otherwise they work just fine. We're just gonna keep using this one until it finally dies, and even then I'll probably see about fixing it.
New stuff doesn't last nearly this long, plus we prefer the old dumb technology anyways. We don't do streaming services or anything like that, but if we wanted to, I'd just connect my laptop up to HDMI.
