I just want a dumb TV that I can connect my Linux box to
Buy commercial signage displays they are nice tvs without all the smart garbage
Looked into this recently, where do I get commercial signage that isn't 6x the price for the same size screen?
Used or refurbished ones tend to be closer in price and I’ve seen some on Amazon and the like for a couple hundred
I'll keep an eye out on Craigslist and ask some of my small business contacts where they got their.
All TVs sold at Costco are required be fully functioning without being connected to Wi-Fi.
That's a very interesting tidbit. Good to know, thanks for sharing!
I feel like I'm the one guy in my friend-sphere that hasn't got a Smart-TV and such, at this point.
I have little use for anything particularly "smart" when it comes to tv's. Also my paranoia doesn't allow for anymore potential spyware ridden electronics in my home. So I'm pretty happy about that...
I just bought a Sony BRAVIA 8 and it's close to this. Never connected to WiFi. It goes directly to my HTPC input and I never see the home screen unless I want to.
