Are there any manufacturers that just make dumb tvs with a decent port selection without any of the spyware and won't try to phone home?
>>108819209best buy's website has an entire filter category for non smart tvs
>>108819209Updooter moment
I think sceptre makes some that don't come with much smart shit.
>>108819209Serves you right for buying a goy cattle device. Modern TVs are advertisemenr billboards in your living room. That's why they are still relatively cheaper in 2026. The solution is really simple. Get a long HDMI cable, pirate shit on your laptop and watch for free in big screen
>>108819209it's no longer your tv my bro...
>>108819244>best buy's website has an entire filter category for non smart tvsebay seller still sells dumb tv for a reasonable price
>>108819209turn off acr and disconnect the internet from your smart tv, or use pi-hole dns server to block these shitty ads on your smart tv
>>108819244>best buy's website has an entire filter category for non smart tvsThis helps near zero since most of those require some kind of business account. Though, I have no idea how difficult it is to open one of those.
>>108819209>his name starts with a small TYou're a moron
>>108819209holy mother of goycattle
>>108819209Why did you connect it to the internet, dumbass?
>not blocking all the manufacture's domains in you routerrookie mistake
>>108819209You're supposed to buy either commercial TV or fuck huge monitor instead. Neither is cheap
bought a 4k 55" hisense in 2019 for 350 yurobucks, the thing has never been connected to any network whatsoever, I play content on it using a htpc, never seen an ad on it.in case it breaks I'll just get some kind of commercial screen so I don't have to deal with signing in to my tv (lmao) or, if i can't afford one, just refrain from watching stuff in my living room
I will keep using my 20 year old 32" 1080p LCD TV until it dies. Well, dies for real. It already died once 10 years ago but I managed to revive it by replacing a blown diode with a 10 cent replacement from aliexpress and it's been chooching along without any issues every day since then.Is the image quality shit and the screen too small? Absolutely. But it's dumb as a rock, doesn't show me any ads and doesn't even have any internet connectivity, and I love it just for that.Show me a decent modern TV that's not an ad-riddled privacy nightmare and I might reconsider, but I doubt they exist at a reasonable price point.
>>108819209You know the smart part is completely optional right? You don't have to use it. The only reason "smart" is in every TV is because it costs pennies to implement (abysmally shit cpu, 2-4gb of ram) and the normies love the convenience. Just get a TV box or connect it to your PC.
>>108819474Where do i find the names and where in the router do I enter the domains to block?
>>108819546>I've had this brush for 35 years>its had 30 new heads and 20 new handlesTrigger jokes ftw
>>108819209>Not blocking internet access for the tv in the router setting.Lmao
>>108819605>won't tell him how>will be a net negative on society
>>108819381The text reads>Welcome back to...How does that feel, moron?
>>108819777Why the fuck would it welcome back to? You were always in the same room. But fair enough, im a tard who doesn't have a console.
>>108819209I'm on a 15 year old "dumb" display, and I might need to upgrade soon so I have a question:Can't you just hdmi in from an htpc and avoid this shit entirely?
>>108819966sure but using 2 remotes is annoying
>>108819209This is why I never updated my LG from day one. I also have the option for root access if I need it. Updating a TV's FW is a downside in every capacity unless you enjoy having freedom taken away from you like normalfaggot cattle do.
>>108819209Serves you right for updating working software. You got what you asked for, updooter! Enjoy the new features!
>>108819209i never connected mine to the internet. i just ise the ps5 for netflix and yt and shit
>>108819209How is this shit even legal though?
>>108819708How can I? It's different for most routers you zoomie retard.
>>108819209I think you can block those with pihole.
>>108820665I mean, if you just want to block internet access to the TV, just don't connect it to wifi or ethernet. Doing shit on your router is completely unnecessary.
>>108819209Oh shit nigga someone scribbled on yo screen with sharpie
>>108819277Look closely anon, that's the profile select page for a PS5. There's no getting around it on that TV short of ripping out its network card unless it's soldered in.
I've seen recent TV models where there's no "change input" button on the remote, you have to open the Home menu (full of ads, also the TV defaults to the home menu upon waking/power on) and from there you have to dig through the menu to change it to HDMI2, etc. And already it can be a pain in the ass to block ads if the software developers know to require DoH.So what happens when they all do it, and every TV on the market will refuse to work unless it can phone home to its ad/telemetry servers? (Yes there are commercial displays, but they're often tens of thousands of dollars)
LG's been shit for almost 20 years ongoing now, not surprising.
>>108819209>Lol Goyim
>>108819474you don't even have to do thatjust don't connect your tv to wifi
>>108820697Nar, I still want it connected to my jellyfin server.
>>108819209laughing at OP's faggot ass
>>108819209why in the ever loving fuck would you actually use the jeetdroid os on those fucking things, you idiot?
get a $30 anjeet TV box and install projectivity launcher.
>>108819209never connect your TV to the internet, use a dedicated TV box.
>>108819209ads are easily mitigated though.the main issue is wifi and bluetooth.tv's are just radiating and pinging everything they can get their hands on with no 'off' switch found in the software.
I saw the same post on the front page of reddit earlier. What is going on?
>>108819209I never see ads as I never connected my tv to the internet. It operates on a raspberry pi connected to jellyfin server.
>>108821089how do I stream my movies from my Jellyfin server then?
>>108821089If it it absolutely needs wifi, you can always make another separate network. I have an IoT network that has all internal traffic blocked. It can only get out to the internet and nothing else.>>108822178Put it on a subnet that has internet access blocked. Expose your jellyfin into that network, and point your TV/box to the server.
>>108819209There was a brief period a few years ago when manufacturers tried pushing the idea of buying a gaming-grade 40"+ display that had just a few HDMI inputs and no smart featuresWhatever happened to those?
>>108819209My 2009 plasma doesn’t need updates
>>108820607You accepted the terms and conditions.
>>108822196If I recall correctly they were more expensive and worse than televisions.Televisions often have low latency and 4K 120Hz these days, so a gaming monitor doesn't really have much advantage over them if you want something big. Smart TVs can subsidise their costs by selling user data, so they are available for cheaper, so people buy those instead. You can buy a smart TV, and then not connect it to the internet, and you get the subsidised cost without the data selling, so you're basically getting the masses to pay for a portion of your huge gaming monitor.
Can't you just not connect it to the internet to make it a dumb tv?>>108819474Also this
>>108819546If you're OK with 32" this'd be up your alley, it's even got a remotehttps://www.benq.com/en-ca/monitor/gaming/ex3210u.html
>>108822178hook up a shitty stick computer running your choice of kodi or some htpc distrodon't ever use the tv for anything except hdmi input switching
What worked for my LG G1 was not agreeing to their terms. Just say no and legally they can't do shit. Sure, none of the apps work until you do but in the unlikely event I suffer major brain damage and want to watch netflix, I can do so with literally any of the other devices attached to the TV so why would I use the much worse inbuilt apps with ads when a PS5 does it?
>buy "smart technology" that has no reason to be "smart">connect it to the internet>suprised when it plays adsAnyone with half a brain should know this shit was gonna happen. Why tf does your TV need to update?
>>108819326You need a business account to buy a non-smart TV at Best buy?
>>108822769>but in the unlikely event I suffer major brain damage and want to watch netflix

>>108823195Looks like you can buy it from Staples, but that's pretty zogged.
>>108819209You literally opted into being served ads. On my LG TV you have to check one of the optional boxes when you agree to the user agreement. I assume disabling it is trivial as well.
