Ultra-thin TVs have new names but they still suck

Ultra-thin TVs have new names but they still suck

 

I’ll admit upfront that the headline is an exaggeration. I don’t hate ultra-thin TVs — obviously, in at least one way, they’re amazing compared to what I had growing up. As late as my early 20s, I was still using a 40-inch CRT that was so bulky it took two people to get it into an apartment, even with the help of a dolly. Conversely, the 65-inch version of Samsung’s The Frame Pro is so thin and light that I could hang it high on a wall without a stepladder if my arms stretched that much.
