TV or Projector?
We’re over a year after the world stopped, if you’re like us at the DMGT you may be getting a bit sick of sitting on your OK-for-non-pandemic-times-but-now-not-good couch night after night, watching your decent-ish TV, working through all sorts of shows and movies but missing that “event” feeling of watching things on the big screen. We at the DMGT deeply feel you on this, and wanted to put together a year 2 list of ways to bring the big screen home.
Bringing the Movie Theater Home

Curated: Monitors
At the start of April, a couple of weeks into the grasp of COVID-19, I wrote a post for some home office essentials in order to make your new work from home reality a bit more comfortable.

So, while I know it’s been a while, here’s my second entry into the Curated series.
I’m going to break this down into 4 personas: the digital content creator, the gamer, the content consumer, & the office worker. As with everything, there are nuances and your own preferences to keep in mind, but from a high level, these are what I believe to be the demographics for consumer electronics. I’ll include my personal overall choice at the end, and will point out any alternatives for different budgets.
