Holy shit, I had no idea that exists. My next TV will be a monitor with no internet access.
I'm in the process of making all our media sources and tech independent, starting with my dad's laptop. I've already set up easy remote access so I can always help him with anything. I am NEVER using mainstream shit from now on.
Thrift stores usually have some older dumb TVs if youre okay with 1080p, and Sceptre still makes dumb consumer-grade TVs if you are willing to shop on Amazon or at Walmart
What i don't get is there is clearly a market here. Why doesn't some lesser Known TV manufacturer make a dumb TV and steal all those customers from the big ones.
Like I just said, Sceptre does. :P
