Could be both, honestly. I’ve spec’d a few different brands for projects, and the variance is wild. Some of the cheaper models are basically glorified...
Honestly, half the time I feel like those references are just reading off a checklist. I’ve had one guy admit after some prodding that their “on time”...
Yeah, I totally get the weirdness factor. I still catch myself glancing around to make sure nobody’s watching when I tell my TV to rewind. But honestl...
