[@commanderoof4578]

On a PC its bad cus it limits resolution and frame rate (assuming the tv or monitor isnt garbage) and it wastes display out space and requires a more expensive GPU to even have as its unsupported on newer hardware you need a special converter And on a tv or monitor its a good thing because it means backwards compatibility with older hardware

It still has the analog/composite connection, plus 3 HDMI inputs. This allows me to connect the PS2 to the analog, the Xbox 360 and Wii and computer to the HDMI ports, and all that's left for me to do is wish I had a console made in the last fifteen years.

For just $57 USD you COULD have gotten the Logitech G313 2.1 system with a subwoofer - it handles mumbling speech well! I use the Z313s for my gaming, but for media and Music consumption I use my Edifier R2000DBs OR my Anker Souncore Motion Boom+ with its 80 watts RMS of insanely good loudness and clarity with booming bass for on-the-go. Been considering using my Soundcore Motiom Boom+ for rear channel audio, but I would have to run a 3.5mm across the floor to plug it in.

I bought a 22 inch Hi-Sense TV a couple years ago for $20US during a clearance sale on Amazon. It's connected to my mini NES and mini SNES and is a crap TV but works great for what I need. 720p is sufficient for 8 bit gaming.

[@_Frank_the_Tank]

Nothing wrong with that. I've got an old Insignia 26 inch 720p from like 2008(ish) that I keep around. Has 2 composite inputs, 2 component inputs, 2 vga, 2hdmi... They were basically like "screw it, give em two of everything". My PS2, GameCube, OG Xbox, Sega Genesis, and Sega Saturn all look great on it via component cables, my Dreamcast looks great on it using vga, and my NES and Super Nintendo both look halfway decent on it through composite. It beats dragging a 200 pound crt around, and it's waaay cheaper then buying whatever the latest witchcraft 100x converter is to try and play old stuff on a 65 inch 4k without looking like total crap.

[@denvera1g1]

I bought a 40 inch vizio TV in 2016 for under 200USD, it had 4K 120 motion rate(native 60) but the best part of this TV, besides the price, was that at 1080P it was actually 120hz input so it worked pretty good as a gaming monitor for the time, 4K for the games my poor little 1080 could handle, and then 1080p120 for the games that couldnt hit 4K60, or games where i needed less latency(racing, shoot'n etc) Latency was horrible compared to a 22 inch 1080p gaming monitor, but that gaming monitor was probably 50% more expensive, and didnt support 4K

The cheap furniture problem is real. For a desktop setup, i can recommend looking for businesses clearing out their offices. They often throw out really expensive desks in mint condition for almost free just to get rid of them. The quality is much higher than 99% of consumer furniture. Same with chairs, an used ergonomic certified office chair is better for your back than most of the gaming chairs. My wife got a massive desk made from teak wood which was 30 years in dry storage for free from an old government office. On eBay people sell those for thousands of Euros, because they believe that they are selling a piece of mid-century art and they are almost always scratched up. It was a pain to carry it in our house, but it is stury enough to hide under it in case of a nuclear war.

[@AntiN00bster]

Hisense is quite the reputable brand (at least over here in South Africa), especially their higher end 4K TVs. I'd buy one over a Samsung with similar specs and price any day. Their older TVs definitely weren't any good, but nowadays the game mode and image quality is quite good. (At least in my opinion and experience.) Good content though sir. o7

Welcome to japanese living, Dawid. What's wrong with sitting on the floor? As a japanese person I find that these cheap foldable floor-chairs are great to have for when you get sudden guests. Once you discover as a non-japanese person that sitting on the floor isn't as uncomfortable, tiring and destructive to your lower-back as a chair is, you might want to look into more expensive floor-chairs. The more upright sitting they keep you, the better. For western guests I keep a few right-side arm-resters around, though I get some pleasure from watching non-asian guests behave like a fish out of water in my home. Seriously though, throw your western back-breakers out of your house and sit on the floor. You'll start feeling a lot better. If you don't want to commit to sitting on the floor, exchange your chairs for low stools.
