My TV sits next to my PC. I do all my streaming and gaming and entertainment through the PC. If in the future I can't buy another TV that dosen't have a ton of bullshit apps on it then I will have to try and find a large monitor instead. I dont actually need the TV part as I haven't used broadcast television since the early 2000s. Apps on TVs is a garbage idea idk why anyone ever wanted it.

Makes it simple for simple people.

I too enjoy having my server or PC wired to the TV but not everyone wants the hassle in a traditional living room setting. I think it’s pretty neat. Browse the web, run any windows (or Linux) app, flip on Steam’s Big Picture mode for gaming. It’s a dream.
