Checkmate, hahaha
When I was a young boy with sharp eyesight we had pixels the size of bricks.
Now I'm old, my eyesight is all ****ed and we have 8K TVs with super small "quantum dots" with out-of-this world HDR.
If God exists, he is one sick ****er.
Well, precisely because I can watch something without glasses. It's big enough that I see all the important details without them. And it's 4K because they don't make big TVs in a different resolution nowadays.
The big TV is your glasses.
I don't have any contacts or glasses
Valid reason
I'm thinking the majority of people who need glasses and watch TV without them are probably far-sighted.
Because a bigger things are easier to see without glasses?
Is this even a thing for people who need glasses?
Yes, me.
Huh interesting... Why?
It's big enough that I see everything important even without them, although a little blurry. And it's nice to be without glasses from time to time.
I can't read some programme descriptions on streaming services from my sofa without glasses
I need glasses but rarely wear them when watching TV unless there are subtitles or I am playing a game that I need to pay attention in. Our TV is just at the limits of my vision so I can work a little bit to make out details and I am usually just too lazy to put them on unless they are right there.
Difficult to find a big TV that isn't 4k these days.
Go into a store and buy a 43” or larger TV and find literally any good looking model that isn’t 4K. The few 1080p ones out there have shit contrast and color
I got LASIK and don't need my contacts anymore
Listen here, you little…
