They really aren’t that much more expensive than a high end smart TV. I’ve been seeing them at about $10(US) per inch. So a 60 inch TV is roughly $600(US). But I guess it all depends on availability of them in your local market.

Butterbee@beehaw.org 4 weeks agoThat’s def a way to get dumber tvs! Though I’m fine buying a smart tv as long as I can keep it 100% isolated from the internet and just use the hdmi inputs and pretend the smart stuff isn’t there. idk if they have gotten quite so malicious yet that you can’t even plug one in without it demanding to be connected to the internet and forcing you to agree to a eula. Roku comes close if I remember. But those shenanigans happened because tv’s were connected and downloaded an update. So whatever is cheaper for the features I care about and I think digital signage you pay a premium for. But I won’t count it out! Thank you

I remember reading about Samsung TVs looking for unprotected WiFi networks, so even if you don’t give it your network details, it’ll connect to your neighbour’s if it’s not password-protected.
