Welcome to the new TV club! What model did you get?
So I got a new TV yesterday! At 55 inches, it's absurdly huge for my tiny room, but that just makes it feel even bigger, and I kind of love it. The picture quality is absolutely gorgeous too, I watched my 4K copy of Black Panther and the colour and depth was outstanding. Definitely worth the rather gargantuan asking price.

Gunsmith cats let me gess some panels are censored.
As far as I know only one page (link does not lead directly to NSFW content, but contains a link that does) has ever been pulled from Gunsmith Cats, and I'm pretty sure it's present in the versions I have, which appear to be the same as the one Joe has there. Though I can't verify that 100% as my manga are at home, the text of the linked page reads:Gunsmith cats let me gess some panels are censored.
Which would seem to suggest that's the case.When this chapter was subsequently published by Dark Horse in graphic novel form, they went ahead and included this page that they had left out of the initial printing of the comic book.
Tbf Dark Horses release of GitS was uncensored, Kodansha removed the pages in their releases after DHs licence expired.And yet ghost in the shell is still censored and not as graphic as that panel in gunsmith cats.
Wasn't that Kodansha though, rather than Dark Horse (who published GSC and the earlier, uncensored editions of GitS)? While I certainly don't agree with it, I can sorta see the rationale for doing it, from a business perspective. Those editions were essentially published to ride the publicity for the live action film, and they probably didn't want any negative publicity from casuals encountering unexpected porn in what might have been the first manga they'd ever read. Plus they're probably aware of the current horrible censorious climate around (mainstream) comics in the west and the possibility of being hounded by angry twitter mobs.And yet ghost in the shell is still censored and not as graphic as that panel in gunsmith cats.
From Amazon France only payed £25.70 for it.
