  • I’m ADHD (inattentive type, so just ADD I guess).

    This all checks out. The audio processing disorder part is particularly frustrating. I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me. I feel like a robot trying to solve a captcha when I process speech.

    There’s a LOT of symptoms and traits to ADHD. Perhaps find a list and run through them. Like, do you find that stimulants have an opposite effect and actually calm you down? Do you naturally sleep several hours after everyone else? Do you fidget and jitter when idle? are you “time blind”?










  • I ignore the “top 3” brands because they’re full of ads, and practically a wiretap at this point. Surprisingly, the mid-tier brands don’t invest in selling the consumer as a product.

    You may get a decent experience from a top-tier that’s kept offline, and using a media box that you have more control over.

    I’ve found that response times are an important spec. TVs now are mostly < 10ms (about half a frame at 60Hz). I have older TVs where it’s > 150ms and audio goes out of sync and video games are unplayable. I suspect the cheaper TVs fare well here too. They don’t do as much postprocessing.
