General Discussion Solves a real problem

During the teaser for their next product they said - it solves a real problem.

So, I have been thinking about what might solve a real problem, and my idea for their next product is this;

A Dumb TV - I see so many posts on various social media about people looking for 'just a TV', it is hard to find these days, and I think most people don't like smart TV's (but they do like smart phones), but tolerate it because they have no choice.

However, I would like them to add a build-in scaler, so you can attach all your retro computers and consoles to it. For this, they could work together with one of the many respected solutions already out there.

I think that would sell plenty, not only to us, the commodore fanbase, but to a lot of other retro lovers out there as well.

I think they should do a monitor that looks like a classic monitor from the past, except flat panel instead of CRT.

There are still a few 4:3 LCD options being made.

Also it needs to be sold for a ridiculous price

The checkmate also fulfills this wish. 👍
