Are dumb tv's even a thing? What's the biggest tv I can buy without spyware that I can use to plug a tablet with a cable to to stream tv shows, movies, and youtube?
>muh spywareyou don't have to connect to the internet retard
just unplug it from the wall when you dont want to use it if youre that paranoid.
>>107006427Not OP, but it's appealing to me too since they make smart tvs with the cheapest trash they come by. Often resulting in various weird issues where you need to cut power for a while to clear caches.
>>107006103basic tv exists i have 32" tvb-t2 i think it might send datapackets to aerial antenna system so yes is spyware
>>107006427I thought Samsung shat out a TV that actually required you to do so a year or so ago
>>107006103There are TVs with no smart BS added, intended for various business uses (like menus in fast food places) but they are a lot more expensive than mass produced consumer smart tvs. Best option for most people is to simply not hook the smart TV to your wifi, at least for now.
>>107006773>intended for various business uses (like menus in fast food places)those displays are trash.
>>107006103Configure your router to block all traffic to and from it. With an exception for local traffic if you want to stream to it.
>>107006427Tvs will try to use the tablet via usb to connect to the internet and phone home
