Heya,

I'm really about to buy a new TV to replace my 20 year old Sony (This guy cannot die and is still superb for an crt).

The reasons why I want to replace it:

- 16:9 TV, While I have no problems with black borders I have a problem when I'm missing out some parts of the screen because the 16:9 view is stretched on my 4:3 TV and I'm missing some space left and right. this seems to be a problem with the TV because 2 receivers I tested show the same results on this TV although they work on another 4:3 TV

- my DVB-T receiver is crap. it was crap when I bought it, but it was cheap...well if I'll buy a new TV I could also get one with a built-in receiver

- use the LCD TV as PC monitor as well. well my EIZO 17 incher is great, but 1280*1024 is really annoying sometimes...so I could replace this one as well

and the last one:

- bigger screen! the ~20" of my old TV are okay, but something bigger should really be nice

so I've found the Toshiba REGZA RV635 to be a good choice and I'm really excited, but I cannot decide on size: 32",37",42"

they have all the same specs despite the size


which one would you choose?

If it's for your bedroom I'd choose the 32" inch one because a 42" inch one would be way too overwhelming in a bedroom. However if it's for a living room or something I'd pick the 42".

Ditto on this one.

    Don't use laptops too much tbh, especially small laptops, iPads completely obliterated them in everything tbh

    The last laptop I ever used was a Lenovo (not a ThinkPad), storage got full quite quickly because it was limited to 32GB lol.

    Mine too was a Lenovo, it was 512gb though so memory was ok
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    It still runs Win10 but I'm planning to use it as a media server.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I never use Win10 or Win11 because of the risks associated, I'm a lot more fond of the customization and ease of use when using Linux.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I'm on Win11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, it gets security updates for 10 years and you can disable a lot of telemetry and other stuff with groups policies
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't use Linux because a lot of games I play aren't fully supported on Linux and making them run it's kind of a pain
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I can remember what PC's I've used over the years. (2011-2013) - Medion PC with Windows 7, (2014-2017) - HP Compaq DC7100 with Windows XP Pro SP3, (2017-2021) - Lenovo IdeaPad 120S-11IAP.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @_Ruri_, Only play games on old consoles that I have or via emulation. Not too much of a new games fanboy.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I used the netbook (HP Mini something) from like 2009 to 2010, a Sony Vaio from 2010 to like 2015 then got an Asus laptop with 4gb ram and 1tb memory which I kept until 2020 when I upgraded to the Lenovo which I used until October 2023 when I built my first PC.

    @SylverReZ, Hm yeah I understand, Linux can work if you don't play new games, I still do though so it's not super practical for me. I have a spare SSD though, I could experiment with stuff in the future
