Instead of ‘splurging’ on a dumb tv bc they’re more expensive now thanks to the data sompanies sell off of smart tvs I was considering getting a smart tv and dumbing it down. Is the way to do this never connecting it to the internet? And is that the only way?
They’re not even really available anymore. There are some but they’re more meant to be directly sold to businesses, and often lack features in addition to costing much more. Easiest thing to do is get a smart TV and just don’t let it connect to the internet.
My computer monitor can take HDMI and DisplayPort. It’s just a display. If you’ve got a device that can receive a signal and spit it out to it, should be good.
Computer monitors might not be large enough for someone, depending upon their use.
I remember in the 1980s, people using televisions as low-end computer monitors. I suppose the circle is complete.
