And this is why we buy dumb TVs

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 13 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

A quick search gave me this: https://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.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 6 months ago

Disable all scripts (inline too) in the adblocker and it works, lol.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

When looking at options, search for “monitors” instead of TVs.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 months ago

Just unplug it from the internet

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Commercial signage displays it is then.

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Don't by a tv, buy a monitor

[-] dipshit@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Yes! got any recommendations because people are searching for dumb tvs and can’t seem to find them anywhere.

[-] whosdadog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] dipshit@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

[-] Zanz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

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