Best privacy tv's? Or dumb none smart tvs? - monero.town

Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv’s or other words none smart tv’s? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

Any good TV that you never connect to wifi or ethernet?

Could always have the risk of a built in radio connecting to a satelite. But that crap is expensive.

I heard that Roku TVs (not the sticks) disable HDMI until you have connected to the internet and registered an account. I also heard that their TVs are way chattier and force more ads than their stick.

Ironic because the one device I would want to connect to its HDMI is a Roku stick.

Sources for what? The article is about ads, ads appearing in live broadcasts, and disabling them in the tvs settings. The post is about having to setup an account or certain hardware like hdmi ports, not functioning.

What am I missing?
