Damn, so the solution is to buy whatever I want and castrate it with no access to internet.
Unfortunately. I personally prefer not to give money to those fuckers.
Don't worry about it, they sell the TVs at a loss because they expect to get the revenue back from ads. You're costing them money when you buy one of their TVs.
Well, yeah, but eventually you'll have to. I currently have old Toshiba LCD which is super awesome. Not thin but works like a charm and came with all the schematics and bill of materials so it can be easily repaired. Needless to say I don't plan on replacing it, but panel itself has expiration date unfortunately.
No, I don't really have to. I've lived without a TV for more than a year. I miss it sometimes, but it's not like my life is falling apart because of it.
Awesome that you have a dumb TV. I'll try and get me one as soon as I have extra space.
Mine is used as extra display for gaming and watching movies. That's it. However it is more comfortable to sit on sofa when watching.
