i want this but i want it to just work with like, my ps4 controller or phone. i like rectangular things
I own the 27" version and can recommend if you have the space for it. Geometry can be a issue on these larger sets, but otherwise the picture quality is great, especially over component (in this case I used to transcode RGB to YPbPr). Before I had any PVMs it was my go-to television for old games.
