How many TV's have you purchased in the last 20 years?

 

I got an employee discount at Walmart when I worked there in 1999. I got a 27 or 30 something inch Tubed TV.

Used that until around 2006 when I bought $999 42 inch Olevia  LCD TV. I thought it was a great deal at the time

 

Then in 2013 I bought I bought an 70 inch Visio LCD TV which is my current TV.

 

So in my case .. 3

As the 'main' TV, a 32" Sony Trinitron CRT in 2001, 40" Hitachi Plasma in 2006, 46" Samsung LCD in 2010.

 

...and 4 Samsung 32" LCDs for other rooms in the house in 2009 which are all still there now. 

 

So, 3 if you only include 'main' TVs, or 7 if you include all of them. I don't plan on replacing any of them until one breaks, don't really watch TV much these days.

Well ... I bought a 36 inch Sony Trinitron around 20 years ago I guess.  That thing was a beast (heavy!).  Bought a Samsung 32-inch 720p LCD for the bedroom around '08 which gave me my first "HD" experience ... it still resides in the bedroom.

 

My current TV is a Pioneer Pro-111FD 50-inch plasma which I bought in 2009 when I came back from Kuwait.  When the movers showed up to deliver my stuff (which had been in storage) I told them to keep the Sony.

 

A few years back I bought a 32-inch 1080p Sceptre that stays outside.

 

Only the Pioneer gets watched with regularity ... especially in the Alabama "winter" ... doubles as a heater.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
