This device is quietly replacing living room TVs, and I finally get why

For years, the TV was the centerpiece of the living room. Everything bent around it. You bought couches to face it, measured walls to fit it, and lived with that big black rectangle looming in the corner even when it wasn’t doing anything. However, lately, I’ve been noticing a shift. More people are actually skipping the living-room TV altogether. This is not for some sci-fi headsets or paper-thin OLEDs glued to the wall, but for projectors. Portable projectors, to be precise.
