Except they turned into trash boxes in the last couple of years. Everything is a smart TV with ad potential and functionality that will eventually be unsupported. I’m holding onto my dumb TVs as long as I can.
Yup. Those cheap TV's are being subsidized by advertisements that are built right in. If you don't need the smart functionality, skip connecting it to the Internet. (If you can. Looking at you Roku TV's!)
look up "commercial displays" or "commercial tvs" when the time comes.
“Monitor” is another. Not just for PC monitors.
well you can just not connect it to the internet and still have some extra features.
also if it's an android tv, it's probably fine (unless you have one with the new google tv dashboard)
these usually don't come with ads or anything except regular google android tracking, and you can just unpin google play movies or whatnot.
