      Hard to find, and unnecessary, as long as it has HDMI ports.

      I have NEVER hooked up a smart TV to the Internet, and they work just fine with my digital boxes.

      Same goes for the Blu-ray player that has Netflix, fuck that noise.

      If there’s a dumb option that is cheaper, go for it. Just don’t think you have to pay a premium for it, when you can just not put the TV on your network.

        I feel that they will soon have built-in 5G that you can’t disable, to phone home.
