Did some more reading, I was probably thinking of broadcast TV signals, which were 25 or 30 fps because one frame is two fields. and I wrongly assumed CRT TVs could only do one thing, but consoles mainly did progressive video.

Was it? afaik PAL was 50Hz but 25fps, and NTSC was 60Hz at 30fps. Two periods per frame because of interlacing or something like that.

They didn’t maintain it, let it die, and made a new one.

I temporarily used it as a computer (mostly just firefox tbh) when my main computer was out of order, normally no.

Steam link app on a smart tv should work.

Don’t know what codec it uses but it works fine with Phonaks.

Depends on your country but switch games range 50-70 € and pc games are more like 10-100€ but with ones comparable to Switch games mostly 30-60€. So yes mostly, but they’re not that far off that they would definitely do poorly.

I think they swapped out thumb sticks and fans at some point before OLED? It wasn’t a major thing.
