We need a Lemmy community dedicated to find, repair and exchange dumb TV. These are become increasingly rare and increasingly needed.
Look for digital signage if you want one with a lot of input options and a guarantee it will do only what you tell it to do (they are however more expensive than consumer grade models)
Just don't connect smart TVs to the internet and boom, dumb TV.
Except my old TV would still try to load ads even though it wasn't connected to the Internet. Made it run slow as shit. When the screen died conveniently right after the warranty period, I just switched to using a monitor to watch stuff.
Dang that sucks! What brand was it so I can avoid it?
Samsung.
If my TV is full of functionnality I don't want, I called it bloated. And I don't like bloated TV more than smart TV.
I appreciate the ECO ramifications. But it's a hell of a lot easier just to firewall the smart ones. I suspect even a pihole might be enough
Dude I want a 34" wega so bad but they're ridonculously expensive
Maybe someone will get the idea to start !dumbtvsarewanted@lemmy.world for that and it could end up going as far as being dedicated to find, repair and exchange CRT TV as well.
When my parents' "dumb" LG TV became faulty, I asked them to keep it so I could repair it and use it myself.
Best decision ever. The issue was just down to a dodgy connection to the LCD panel, just needed a thin shim material in there and the issue was solved. I added a fan in there too since it gets really hot, and also now run it on the lowest brightness (which is still pretty visible during daytime) since the old CCFL backlights kick out a ton more heat when cranked up
It's just over a decade old now and still going strong, currently hooked up to a Steam Link in the bedroom for streaming from other machines in the house, a Miracast/EZCast HDMI dongle for casting from my phone, and finally to my PS2.
What should it be called?
Dumb is the new smart
Be smart, buy dumb
idk, I'm sure we could find better.
Simple TV Exchange
