I miss dumb TV. I would pay more for a dumb OLED TV. Then add the media box of your choice, be it an Apple TV, a Raspberry Pi or whatever…
Commercial monitors or digital signage displays are out there.
B&H has a good selection.
They are a bit more expensive, but not crazy.
I just don’t use the smart features. Maybe it’s because I run Pi Hole, but I don’t have any ad issues at all using Apple TV.
There are ads on YouTube TV, the normal ones you find on broadcast TV or cable, and that is all.
I thought not connecting it to the internet will make it OK?
Some literally will not let you use them without an Internet-enabled setup
They can also hijack the connection of a connected box (ethernet over hdmi) or via a connected phone (bluetooth & chromecast iirc)
Any source on this?
Oh man, I would kill for this…
The processor in my Bravia seems to do wonders for image quality tho. Same file on my HiDPI computers doesn’t look nearly as good.
I’m okay with image processing in the screen, by smart, I mean with a media platform and apps installed on the screen. I have two Roku TV that are now unusable even as a screen because the recent Roku software updates made the whole tv sluggish as hell even to simply turn on to an input like HDMI. It’s baaaaaad. Image processing on the other hand no biggie (as long as it’s not this motion flow shit)
I have a 2012 Vizio TV with a Chromecast. I have it hooked to WiFi so that I can cast to it. Is it able to connect to the Internet through the Chromecast?
If connected via HDMI, no. But your TV might be able to act as a remote control for your Chromecast. No internet data via HDMI.
Ethernet over hdmi

Wow. Ok I did not know that.
How about 10x more
