Expensive large screen displays are better.

Smart TVs are privacy invasive billboards that let you watch some TV on their terms.

They’re a little bit better if you just never connect them to the internet.

This just doesn’t seem to click for a lot of people for some reason that I cannot explain whatsoever. I don’t even have mine connected to electricity when I’m not using it.

Mine gets put in the garage when its not being used. Microphones to record you can work on battery power inside the tv

I keep mine chained up in the basement when not in use.
