It finally happened. My ‘dumb’ TV died for good. Looking for recommendations on a new TV. I’ll be hooking it up to a media PC anyway, but I still want a TV with a good panel and absolutely no microphones, cameras, or baked in ads (Looking at you roku). If anyone knows any good ‘dumb’ TV’s too, I’d be very interested in looking at those.
In preparation for this happening to me I’ve been looking at commercial displays, which are infuriatingly more money unfortunately
They’re more expensive because they aren’t filled with advertising. Consumer TV prices these days are heavily subsidized by brand deals and ad space
