commanderSomeone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support
baltakateiDoes it act as a dumb monitor? Can all smart TV features be permanently disabled?
You can prolly just not connect it to Wi-Fi but I seriously doubt any TVs these days don’t have this bullshit.

dual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️There are relatively few, but there are a couple. The Sceptre U515CV-UMC is probably the most well known one. It’s easy to find a dumb TV in the sub 24" category, too, but that’s probably not what most people are looking for and at that rate most nerds would probably just use a computer monitor instead anyway.
No DisplayPort on that Sceptre, obviously.
I’ve heard that the “smart” feature services actually help subsidize the overall cost of the TV, but if that’s true, I doubt any of those savings are being passed to the consumer.
TV’s is one of the few things that have gotten cheaper of the years
they have mics to spy on you and unremovable ads all over the ui and apps
