4 undeniable reasons why I still love TVs in an age of small screens

Description

Something I think about from time to time is the fact that, with current devices, there's no inherent need to own a TV. It certainly made sense to buy one in the pre-internet age, when a TV was the best way to get news, and the only way to get video entertainment without going to a theater or arcade. Today, the laptop I'm writing this on has a 16-inch OLED HDR screen, and can download virtually any movie or TV show that's ever been digitized. My iPhone has less screen and storage space, but would still be an acceptable way to watch Casablanca or The Wire with the right set of headphones.
