I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** - Lemmy.World

we live in hell

And this is why we buy dumb TVs
Just unplug it from the internet
That won’t be the solution forever. They’ll put an always online requirement soon.
Don’t by a tv, buy a monitor
Commercial signage displays it is then.

Where? Which ones?

Btw, my LG tv would be able to stream from my phone, if the app didn’t accuse me of unsupported rooting, because i have no Play Services running.

A quick search gave me this: www.makeuseof.com/best-dumb-tvs/

I might save up and pick up one of the 32" ones after the holidays.

The Best Dumb TVs Without Smart Features in 2024

Enjoy the best features of a smart TV without sacrificing your privacy by considering the best dumb TVs.

MUO
The fact that the site refuses to let me read the article because I have an ad blocker is some very dark humor.
Disable all scripts (inline too) in the adblocker and it works, lol.
When looking at options, search for “monitors” instead of TVs.
That doesn’t exist apart from very expensive business screens.
Yes! got any recommendations because people are searching for dumb tvs and can’t seem to find them anywhere.
You probably want commercial displays. They’ll cost a bit more, but they’re also designed to run 24/7 (think the screens they use in menus, signs, etc) so they could probably last forever as a TV.
Do you have a suggestion for one with HDR or that runs a proper refresh rate and response time. There are a few good options for NEC but they’re about 15 grand.
