alt Hacker NewsThis is one of the many reasons I haven't owned a TV for the last 5 years. I just watch stuff on the computer, or not at all. It's actually nice not having it looming over me.

LG recently was in the news for loading Microsoft's utility/driver update mechanism with crapware that auto installs (by default) when you hitch one of their monitors to a Windows PC. I fear they just haven't gotten around to fully abusing monitor users yet.
I love my friend’s house that has no TV and that’s exactly what they do. The room aesthetically looks so nice without the screen in it.
However, the laptop solution tends to only work if you’re single or have no family. The TV is unfortunately a very useful device.
