I went out of my way to get a “stupid” TV last time I had to get a new one because I didn’t want the smart stuff. Probably wouldn’t be possible now.

Honestly I’d just be happy to have a TV without builtin “smarts”. Let me use my own set to box! I feel like Im collecting TVs from the late 2000s

It’s not. I just don’t connect the wi-fi. TVs usually enter a default state of “just go to the last selected input” which works fine for me.

Places like casinos are able to get the dumb TVs. Try to get a hold of one of them somehow. They use them to display their advertising.

I love that the OS for my LG TV pretty much stays out of my way while I run everything through the Roku. The only time I see anything from the TV OS is the occasional small pop up letting me know it completed an update.

Just disable the networking and put the TV in game mode, which disables the smart stuff to give more processing power to the TV.
