Looking for a 4k tv without smart functions (feddit.de)

submitted 10 months ago by Johanno@feddit.de to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

117 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

You’re right. What you really need is a tv that reacts less bad to being online. It’s a shame Logitech killed the Harmony because dumbing down your tv successfully generally requires a universal remote.

As a long time Harmony user, expert, and former employee .... The Sofabaton remotes are the closest substitute I've found. Easy to configure and use. Just no "activities" like a Harmony. But at least you can set it to control the volume on X device when you have it in the mode to control Y device.

Activities are the killer app of Harmony. How do you set it to switch inputs on the various devices?

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It has a physical scroll wheel to switch between devices. The on each device mode you can customize the buttons.

I use configure one of the buttons to be a hot key to set the TVs input for the device I have selected.

Again, it's not as automated as an activity, but it eliminates switching around to different devices and finding inputs.

In our case we have some devices connected to a receiver (Apple TV) and others to TV (game systems). We use ARC for audio for those devices. I suppose it’s easier if everything is connected to TV for that purpose.
