I saw a license plate the other day that said "PSX 12" and I was like "they're not even on 6 yet. Is this guy from the future?"

My 46" Sharp Aquos that I paid $2,000 for in 2004 is still chugging along like a champ. It's been used nearly daily.

Are they already really talking about the PS6? I'm still using my PS1, 2, and 3!! I'll never catch up at this rate. I probably will not get the PS5 anyway - I haven't seen many games that look like they'd justify my buying one.

The only time I replace electronics anymore is when something breaks or when I'm gifted someone else's hand-me-downs

Jokes on you -- I'm still using the last TV I bought in 2005. It has 2 HDMI ports and supports 1080i!
I miss this the most, older tv models would have like over 30 ports to connect anything you wanted. All newer models just have like 1 HDMI connection if even.
To add these older screens last. New stuff just dies after a few years, or gets killed with a firmware upgrade.
PSA: Don't connect your "smart" appliances to the internet fokes.
My Smart TV made itself dumb when its built-in wifi just died one day. No loss.
Is that a joke? My old TV has 3 and that's the only reason I can still use it. 2 of them broke over the years.
Depends on the TV.
Many older mid to high end models had 4+ ports and it sucks you can rarely find a new one with 4 anymore.
My circa 2008 Sony Bravia has 6 HDMI ports that all still work.
We had an older Hitachi tv with 4 HDMI plus component plus RCA input and 4 different options for audio input.
New Samsung TV. 2 HDMI, that's it. One is ARC which is the only audio interface besides TOSLINK so really theres effectively 1 HDMI to use.
But of course all the lovely ~~spyware~~ smart features more than make up for it.

I was using an old plasma screen from around 2008/9 for a while until my girlfriend's sister's exboyfriend stole it. Their dad gifted me a 55in 4k tv that wasn't bid on at an auction he was running. That plasma is probably gonna burn down Shithead's place at some point, it was pretty sketchy.
I love to see the average iPhone fan (wastes $1000 every year) meet you
It's so funny to me, for a few hundred more you can get an android that unfolds into a tablet lol if you're going to drop a grand on a phone why not spend a little more and get something fresh

Don't worry. Either the PS9 won't need a screen or we can sue for false advertising. https://youtu.be/iwhPkBHLdqE?feature=shared
Honestly don't see the necessity. I've had the same computer monitor for 17 years.
1050p 16:10, 1200p 16:10, or 1200p 4:3?
Just a normal 1080p 16:9. Wish I got a 16:10.

I game at 1440p. The day my 1080ti dies will be a sad day indeed.
I went from a 1070Ti to a €600 4070.
There was no need whatsoever for that. I have noticed almost no difference at 1440p 165Hz except newer games go like 20 fps higher.
I was thinking VR would be hugely different. It wasn't, and now my headset cable is broken so I can't even game in VR.
A few years ago, I got a good deal on a 4K projector and setup a 135" screen on the wall. The lamp stopped working and I've put off replacing it. You know what didn't stop working? The 10+ year old Haier 1080p TV with a ding in the screen and the two cinder blocks that currently keep it from sliding across the living room floor.
Yep I feel the same. I love how old stuff seem to last longer and longer and the new stuff breaks just out of the blue.
Why does it slide across the floor? Do you live on a boat?
I wish. It's sitting on the floor and there's a rug, so the cinder blocks are in front of it at the corners. Now my bed is a little more saggy. I might need some new furniture.

That's how I feel when people complain about 4k only being 30fps on PS5.
I laugh because my 1080p tv lets the PS5 output at like 800fps.
Me still rocking the 1080p 42 inch I bought off a coworker for $50 10 years ago
I mean, you can get 4K TVs for cheap and fix them (As long as the display is NOT damaged, once that's gone the TV is nothing but scrap)
Got a 60 inch 4K HDR TV for free off Facebook, the led backlights had just gone out. $20 for a replacement set, 2 hours of my time and a couple cuts on my hand and it's been a fantastic TV since lmao
