I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum's decision that I am missing.

I have enough back problems to remember a time when a 32 inch television WAS a big-screen. My family had a 35 inch Sony Trinitron that weighted as much as a motorcycle. You do not NEED a 50+ inch screen.

I'm 43. I remember those days as well. It was shit.

I'm 38, and I remember the last gasps of CRTs in the early 2000s more fondly than the colicky 10-year toddlerhood of digital flat panels that followed.

I'm 40 and my only TV is a 13" CRT that I'm rocking for movies and games

I mean, you also had pretty low quality TV and home media, anything beyond 32 inches wasn't doing much good for you.
