Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Yeah, it's largely been turned from in favor of newer, better options now, but so has VHS. Didn't make either a flop in their heyday.

As I have said in the past, I'm a big fan of Samsung for LCD panels.
but the Samsung isn't on sale! :) I think I need to go for the longevity. Thanks for the advice.
