My New Love
Poor me, my TV has finally given up on me…
Now just a shell of her old smart self.
A dumb TV with nothing left to give.
To be fair,
she has been my ride or die for 13 good years, so I can't complain.
We have laughed together, cried together and shouted at scenes together.
She has seen me curled up under warm blankets in dim lighting…
Through heartbreaks, comfort rewatches, lazy Sundays.
And those nights where you accidentally watch "just one episode" until 3am on a school night 😩
She survived my old sofa, welcomed the new one with me.
And held it together longer than some relationships, honestly.
But I fear it is finally time to let her go.
Now listen.
I wasn't looking for "just any TV".
If I'm replacing something that's lasted me 13 years, I want the latest.
The best.
Something immersive, practical and future-proof enough to survive another decade with me.
So naturally, I found myself deep-diving into cinematic contrast.
Immersive picture quality.
Film lovers debating on Reddit about Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos... like I'll never need glasses to watch movies again hahaha.
Gamers bonding over motion smoothness and HDR10+.
And grown men on YouTube whispering passionately about "true blacks" like it's a spiritual experience 😂
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I spiralled into the world of OLED TVs.
And now?
Now I cannot stop thinking about the LG OLED evo G5 in 65 inches - my old girl is only 47 inches.
This upgrade would be a revolution! 😀
I don't just want a TV. I want an entire experience.
I'm imagining cosy late-night films with the lights dimmed low…
Soft blankets… spooning on the sofa.
Fireplace glowing in the background…
Losing myself in beautiful cinematography like I'm physically inside the movie.
The worst part is I hadn't even noticed my current TV was struggling until OLED entered my life…
OLED ruined normal screens for me forever 😩
So yes…
This is where I'm currently at emotionally.
In a committed relationship with a television I do not yet own.
Honestly, the men who encourage my taste for beautiful things in life really have a lot to answer for.
Because now your girl has expensive cinematic dreams...
That her bank account isn't ready for 😭
Until my next post…
I'll be in my flat reminiscing about my old TV.
And daydreaming about my new love - 65 inches wide…
Elegant bezel frame.
Dimmed lights.
Glowing fire… flickering flame.
And a trembling bank account 😌
