Comment What did you expect? (Score 1) 250

I have literally NO sympathy for complainers that purchase products even knowing ahead of time that they lock you into monoculture that is arbitrarily and completely controlled by a company with a long history of abusing their own customers (e.g. Apple, Microsoft, Sony).

Are they simply meeting the definition of insanity (same action different result) or do they just have such a ridiculously overinflated ego that they seriously expect to be treated better than all the other previously abused customers?

Comment Projectors = not practical too. (Score 1) 720

The problem with a projector for 'everyday' TV is that you need a new bulb (maybe $400) every 3000 hours or so, which is noticeably expensive and inconvenient.
Also, daylight and projectors don't mix well at all, so you often need to substantially darken your viewing room, darkening windows and possibly repainting light walls/ceiling darker, which all has a very low WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), especially if its the lounge.

Good luck with ever getting a robust system, or even finding anyone with an actual clue that would want to contribute (a.k.a. waste) their time trying.
