Until a couple of days ago, my constant desk mate was an old 13" TV that extended out the back at least as wide as it was. If I was at my desk, the TV was on... mostly for background. There was little I watched watched.
For once I planned well, did my research, and ended up buying a 24" flat-screen TV that still fits on the desk without sticking out beyond the desk's borders or out in the back over the abyss. I think the whole thing is maybe seven pounds. After figuring out how to set it up (those things don't come easy for me), it's now up and running.
Long story short, all along, I always had to check the online TV guide to see what was on. I am not sure how many channels I had, but there was almost always 'nothing on' (if you know what I mean). I usually watched the same few channels over and over again. The new set came with all kinds of built-in streaming apps, so apparently now I get to pick which which one(s) I want to try - I pick what to watch and when. So far, I have watched several episodes COPS on the what appears to be a dedicated COPS channel and a little bit of Dark Shadows (the original)!
Now, I m really appreciating the difference in sets. The Bruins are on, and what a world of difference! If I believe an online screen area calculator, there is over three times the viewing area, and just wow!
Anyhow, I have not watched much 'newer' TV, and even fewer movies, so I don't even know where to begin! I do want to finish up Breaking Bad, but where I go from there... who knows. Maybe you do - I am open to recommendations.
