it's been getting some fading/burn in creeping around the edges for ages but I deal with it
please, please I don't want to have to get a smart shit TV
this thing is basically a monitor, choose the input, you're done, I love it
I don't want to let you go
it died
in the middle of using it (still hissing) it just flat out turned off
I am not going to attempt to turn it back on because that seems like a possible electrical risk, its time is over
drive to best buy, impulse buy $90 monitor, drive to wal mart, buy $20 end table to put it on
this is a pretty decent monitor, visually it's the same size as the TV due to being closer but it's wide as well
eventually will replace the TV but that's a giant hassle, it's mounted to the wall and it's older so it's heavier
