My takeaway from this comment section is that smart TVs are straight from hell and should be treated as such. It is very important, that you get a TV BEFORE smart TVs were a thing.
Display technology has advanced quite a bit since smart tvs have become ubiquitous, though. So you are sacrificing quality to avoid those headaches.
Personally I just don't give my smart TV an internet connection.
That's what I did too. It has no connection and I don't use any of the smart TV features. Instead I have my own box I'm using. I never felt this stupid.
Nah, you can buy new TVs
Just make sure they can be used without network and then never connect them to the internet.
Bought a new TCL recently, none of the smart features work, but got excellent screen quality with all the new specs.
Mine is that I’m not the same demographic than most Lemmy users who comment here.
