About

ScreenCastMeadow is a reference for the jobs a living room is already doing twice. It reads 52 product listings across six categories, sorts what they claim into five jobs, and points at the places where the same job has quietly acquired two owners.

Nothing here is a scandal. A smart television and a streaming stick both run apps because both were designed by people who assumed they would be the only device in the room. A sound bar and a set of built-in speakers both make noise for the same reason. The result is a coffee table with four remotes on it and two app platforms arguing over one input, and nobody chose that; it accumulated.

The voice on this site belongs to whoever ends up setting all of it up at Christmas. Cheerful, unimpressed by box copy, and allergic to buying the same thing twice.

What this site will not do

Where the facts come from

Product facts come from the listing text, quoted on the page where they are used, always in the form the listing states. Anything about a published standard, whether that is HDMI, VESA, a cable rating or television tip-over, comes from the body that publishes it, linked from the page that mentions it. Nothing is filled in by analogy, and no bandwidth figure or version number is added from memory.
