I'm never buying a SMART TV again. It's fucking stupid now that mini PCs are almost free

If having smart functions came with improvements about being a video device, but nooooo here a flat mirror of moving imagine capable of serving ads that barely holds its crap together the moment you put a 1440p signal in.
My old LG is non smart and still capable of receiving full HD transmission no problem.

i bought digital signage used from ebay. just a 55 inch monitor basically.
sure it has a super loud fan that kicks on for a second but its never come back on during use
4 hdmi and one dp that does 4k and it has a network port with a gay little web page that lets you change all the settings
got a media pc with a dvb card and away we go
couldnt be happier NEVER buying a tv tv again

Smart TVs become ordinary TVs from 20 years ago if you're not a mouth breathing retard and never connect them online

Call me old fashioned but I never used a smart TV once, at least not in the way you're supposed to.

Like >>108810957 said, I never connected my TV to the internet once. I do not believe your TV should have to install updates. If I need some kind of streaming application, I will download it on a playstation or something. The TV should just work.

What I really hate more than smart TVs though is having to buy a soundbar because every TV sounds like a tin can now. TV speakers were never perfect, but it used to be that you could find models with decent to good sound. Now it's all unusable tin can garbage. It's getting harder and harder to find decent sound without having to buy extra equipment, and I don't want extra equipment for a TV. I want the TV to just work. Again call me old fashioned but I'm not even asking for a surround sound movie theater experience, I just want basic sound that doesn't sound like a tin can.

And the mini pc won't gradually slow down as is programmed in "smart" tv's so that eventually it's so dog shit slow people end up giving the tv away just so they can buy another one that will serve them ads in 6 months. People are retarded.

The problem with smart TVs is that they're not actually smart. Whenever I plug in an older console I have to manually change the aspect ratio to 4:3, it never does it automatically like you would expect.

Wrong. TV's from 20 years ago had all the jacks. Now they just go "here's four hdmi's, go fuck yourself"
