You can't really find a dumb TV anymore. I might see how big of a monkey I can find when I'm ready to upgrade, but I doubt I'll find one big enough and cheap enough.
I hooked my computer up to the HDMI and have used that as my primary interface.
It's not perfect, but it screens out 95% of bullshit
That doesn’t, unless you’ve blocked your TV from network access, because they use ACR - Automated Content Recognition - that literally scans what is being displayed over your hdmi port and then sells it off to advertisers.
I think you missed the part where the TV doesn't have access to the network.
