People tend to eye you suspiciously when you tell them you don't have a TV. 'But what do you do'? they cry. 'How do you relax?' When my wife and I moved into our new cottage, we left the TV at her parents' place, with vague plans to pick it up later. But months later, we've yet to feel compelled to collect it.
Part of the reason is aesthetic – we've moved into a tiny old Hobbit house cottage, and a big black slab would inevitably dominate whichever room we put it in. There's no room for 4K monitor in our house, and while the best Frame TVs might promise to blend in, let's face it – they're hardly period pieces.
