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

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

Even then you still have a bunch of cheap hardware crammed into an insufficiently ventilated box that will lead to problems down the line.

My TV is 15 years old, not very smart, thick as oatmeal, but works like a charm.

you don't have to use the smart bulllshit.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

It's still there, though.

And since it's usually one integrated board, a failure in the "bullshit" will likely affect the not-shit.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

that's just pure speculation. if they design the boards to cool properly during the warranty period there's no reason to think they'll have major issues after that.

Read that statement again and ask yourself, if it really makes sense .

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

unnecessary disrespectful bullshit.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago

It's the maximum amount of respect you can't expect for posting nonsense.

Why on earth do you think something keeps working just because it survived the warranty period? That doesn't make any sense.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

fuck all the way off asshole.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org -1 points 1 week ago

Does that attitude work for you? In general, I mean. Doesn't seem very effective.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

disengaging from assholes, absolutely it does. enjoy your imaginary internet points from other assholes.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly what I did. I'd get a 65" monitor if there was any. But an always offline smart TV will do.
