  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 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.

  Just unplug it from the internet

    That won’t be the solution forever. They’ll put an always online requirement soon.

      Commercial signage displays it is then.

      Don’t by a tv, buy a monitor

  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.

      So you’re saying I need a commerical display to see less commercials?

      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.

  Were it so easy…

    All my smart TVs have existed without wifi or connections to the net themselves, only the devices that connect (Nintendo, Playstation, Roku, etc) . It’s easy from that perspective, all depends on what you want and need.

  That doesn’t exist apart from very expensive business screens.
