My TV is a 50" I think? 1080p from 2013. It was cheap then, and it's worth nothing now, on the market. But it works fine.

The backlight is evenly distributed, which is good, that's a pet peeve of mine. But otherwise it's unremarkable.

Honestly, I'd really like to try those new HDR TVs, a mini LED or OLED or something. But I just can't justify it. Why? Because the TV I have, works fine 🤷‍♂️

If it magically died tomorrow, I'd upgrade. But I definitely don't need 8k. Heck I don't need 4k. I barely watch any content at 1080, it's mostly 720 🤷‍♂️
