Have a regular PC hooked up to the TV. That's my smart machine. I control every aspect of it. Fuck Smart TVs.
Raspberry pi with Kodi hooked up to a projector and a NAS serving files works well for me.
I mean that's nice but can you run Netflix/Hulu/AppleTV/HBO through that thing? Or can you only play media that you illegally downloaded?
I also use my pc as a TV with a big monitor. I can watch Netflix/streams through Firefox and control the pc with my PS5 controller connected through bluetooth.
You can do all of those things, but it's not remotely the same. The browser is limited to 720p, the interface isn't couch-friendly, and now your PC is connected to a TV instead of a proper gaming monitor.
That is all true. It just saves me money not buying a TV ๐ .
On windows you can just install the Netflix app or use Edge and it's not limited to 720p, and you can just use a long hdmi cable and have your pc plugged into a normal monitor as well.
