Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?
InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 days agoIt’s not that a dumb tv offers better viewing quality, it’s that it needs to start an OS and an interface to navigate, injecting ads and whatnot, while a dumb tv will start in an instant and only outputs what is connected to its physical inputs.

My LG TV (not connected to the internet) lets you disable all startup icons and sounds. It goes from off to on in about 2 seconds.
