Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv's or other words none smart tv's? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

But do they come with stands? I spent a decade working in digital signage in Australia and I don't recall ever seeing a screen with a stand.

A reasonable enough VESA mount or stand should be no more than $50 or $60. Looks like the linked display has VESA 200 mounting holes.

You want to wall mount any decent sized TV anyway. My LG didn’t come with a stand either, only a wall mount.

Why would I want to wall mount a TV if it's large?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Several reasons.

First of all space: a wall mounted TV takes up less space, and this is especially true if it's a large TV

Second: safety. A large flat screen is at risk for falling over. Even the smallish (50") plasma I had a while back came with a safety warning that urged you to basically run a piece of rope from a hook at the top of the TV to the wall to ensure it wouldn't fall on anyone.

Third: it just looks better.
