I just don’t connect my Hisense to the Internet, and let my Nvidia Shield TV do all the “Smart” stuff. 🤷♂️

The “You get what you pay for” excuse doesn’t hold up. My 77-inch LG OLED cost over $3k USD. It’s still full of ads and spies on me unless i neuter it.

are there custom ROMs for TVs like there are for Android phones?
Just buy a computer monitor
Monitors are starting to move in this direction. Samsung has a notorious 5k Apple Studio competitor that wants to connect to the Internet and uses the same interface as their Galaxy smartphones.
Standby. Winter is coming for monitors as well.
Do you know any 55 inches computer monitor?
Don’t connect them to the internet. Problem solved.
Nah. Not good enough for me. I thought I would just do that but the thing still has to boot android in order to show you the HDMI input. So it has to constantly suck power like a vampire in order to keep a SoC running, and if it loses power, it has to boot the system again.
I got a cheap TCL and it smells like burning plastic, even when its “off”. I suspect it’s because of that SoC constantly running.
Next time I’m buying a computer monitor instead of a smart-but-not-connected TV.
