I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again (www.androidauthority.com)

Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

It’s a VA panel tho 🙁

VA has gotten really good over the years and I‘d prefer it over a similarly priced IPS, if neither has local dimming or quantum dots or something like that. VA has so much better contrast. Of course, it’s nothing against OLED, QLED, microLED, etc but it’s also in a very different price class.

We need more dumb tv's in the higher price class.

In my experience, most smart tvs work perfectly fine without being intrusive, if you simply never connect them to the internet.
