I have one of the first gen smart TVs from Samsung and it's absolute cheeks now. Changing the volume, no joke, can take multiple minutes to register from the remote. When I click the volume up button, you can see the red light on the ir sensor of the TV flash, registering that it got the signal, but for it to actually change the volume, that can take multiple minutes to do. Just buy a regular tv and get an nvida shield or something similar.
Point me to where I can find a non-smart tv and I'll jump right in that lol
Pull out your wallet. Smart TV costs are subsidized by the ad revenue generated. Be prepared to pay twice as much for the same panel with "features" removed.
Just buy any TV and never network it. I know Sony allows you to use it without ever connecting to a network.
Then connect anything you want such as an old laptop or set top box.
In the US, scepter makes a dumb TV. I just bought a 46" from walmart for like $200. Audio isn't great so I had to get some good speakers.
