Hard to watch tv

Post Reply New Topic

Does the tv ever bother you? Not by any high pitch sounds but by how it looks. The tv never looks totally straight. I am just wondring if I am the only one.

never noticed it. maybe you have a bum TV.


don't watch TV BTW.

The TV bothers me because of what it shows. Seriously, 99% of TV shows are f*****g garbage, even the ones that people tell me are great.

No it's not just tv its monitors as well. All of a sudden tvs look weird and monitors look weird.

Did you use some strange eyedrops recently?

the older tv's do; slightly. the newer ones are all flat screens, LCD, LED or whatever; so the image distortion is minimal.

something that is worse then that though; is for CRTs in the corner of my eyes; i then start to really see the half-speed refresh rate, which is really annoying; the only option is to look straight at it or completely away...

I only watch TV once in a blue moon. I "watch" TV shows I like on You Tube all the time but I really just listen to it and glance up at it once in a while as I draw or something.

Not the look, but the sound bothers me. I can't stand it...
Of course, it doesn't help that there are four other people in my family and they really like TV.
If I want to watch a movie or show or something, I do so on the computer with headphones. It's difficult to concentrate on the television when there's other extraneous noises and sights; plus, I like having control over what I watch and when I watch it, and I'm lucky to be living now so that can (for the most part) happen.

I've stopped watching TV in 2006. The only time I watch TV is when there's a special sporting event on.

I canceled my cable tv subscription a few months ago. Before that I rarely watched tv, mainly news and natural-science programs. Now I either watch something that comes from the internet (TV shows, movies) or I do it somewhere else with someone, altogether not much.

I have trouble watching tv because it makes the inside of my head feel "sick." I grew up without tv in the home, and only got cable tv at the request of an ex-boyfriend (because my apartment was too boring).
I don't watch tv now, there are few shows that I even enjoy. The sound of the commercials makes me panic, because there are so many of them. The vibrations that televisions emit, while they are on, makes my head hurt.

I can't stand the picture quality on flat display sets (plasma or LED/LCD). I don't care for the later model CRTs either. I have a 1972 Zenith color TV with a 25" black CRT, and that one has a very pleasing picture with deep contrast and deep color, which you cannot get on newer type TVs. I don't watch any TV, except for having local news on in the background while I eat breakfast. My wife has several shows she likes to see regularly, and occasionally I'll watch with her and enjoy the show. But I just don't have any drive to seek a TV show to watch. I did when I was little, but not since about age 15. Ironically, I was a TV repairman for 20 years, and I collect vintage TV sets, of which I own a few hundred!

Nope been around for awhile. Nothing real wrong. I just have to work much harder than most people to watch tv and use certain monitors.

Of course. It's the worst when I'm trying to watch TV in bed and I have to get up and move the TV so it's juuust right, and I end up accidentally removing wires from it that get lost in the dark.
