[Cialug] Stimulus -> new TV (slightly off topic)

[Scott Yates]

I would honestly try to avoid the "smart" tv's and just get a really good
display, then pair it with something like an Nvidia Shield or a Roku box.
The tv's don't get updates as often, and many of them get updates you don't
want.  Specifically, some of them are getting ad's delivered to the freaking
TV.

Sceptre makes VERY good quality sets and they are usually inexpensive as
well.
