Because all that would have accomplished would be to take a system that you are already complaining is slow and buggy and made it even slower and buggier, if it worked at all. The bottom line is that Tizen needed a new processor and more memory in order to work reliably.

“What customers would actually need is just a display, and an upgradeable box/dongle that would also host all the inputs.”

I was hoping this would be the case with the release of DS3 as it gets me one step closer to being able to retire my 360 for good. Praise the sun!

It is certainly more hassle to have to look at my remote. My thinking is that a well designed remote should be “invisible” most of the time. This means that it should be:

I want to like this but even if it comes stateside these aren’t going to replace my Harmony remotes any time soon. I like the aethetics, but remotes without physical buttons are just more hassle than they’re worth.

It was on sale for $5000 over the holidays and went back up at the beginning of the year. It just went back on sale a few days ago.

Looks like somebody spent some time perusing the Best Buy’s website. Nothing wrong with that, but some thoughts...

That’s pretty neat. I’m suitably impressed.

TV? No (at least in the US). Not yet, and probably not in any meaningful way for a long time to come.

I don’t disagree. There is simply no $1000 projector that is going to match the picture quality of the 65EF9500. It won’t even be close.

Some televisions will allow you to passthrough 5.1 via optical. The OLED linked in the article can certainly do it (though some sources such as Tivo can be problematic). The Samsungs linked do as well.

I’m not exactly a fan of soundbars in general, but if you’re going to use one you could certainly do worse than the Playbar. A lot worse.

Or it could be a complete trainwreck. What works for you isn’t necessarily appropriate for the average consumer.

The 70" part made me facepalm, but in fairness it is a $6000 television that just went back on sale for $5000.

Came to the comments to post exactly this and you beat me to it.

Assuming that the owner isn’t a complete moron...short of doing a factory reset you need the routers password in order to access/make changes to the router.

I would have been so disappointed if I had clicked on this article and not seen this here.

I was mildly interested in this for about 2 seconds...and then I saw it’s not ambidextrous. Guess I’ll be sticking with my Sensei Pro.

Not likely to happen. It simply wouldn’t sell in quantities significant enough to be worth the effort for the manufacturers.

Of course it will. It’s bleeding edge tech. There shouldn’t be any surprises for people here.
