I disconnected both of my smart TVs from the internet and have yet to tell the difference. :)
This is the way.
I just want a TV to be a display that shows what I plug into it.

Where can I get a 55 inch monitor thats not one of those weird ass ultrawide thingies?

That’s nearly 1k for a 55. I paid 350 for my LG 4k.
Discounted because of all the bloatware they put on it…
I have no complaints. I don’t use ITS smart features tho. I gots myself a roku for my plex server. Haven’ seen the LG’s homescreen in years.

I have
I have my TV locked down to LAN in my router. Lets me still run automations against it but prevents ad bullshit and forced updates.
Just got a new Roku tv, that’s a great idea thank you.
I actually built the OS for a certain line of smart TVs
It worked well on the first- and second-gen products, but hardware and software were all moved to China years ago and it’s gone to shit since then.
Give us T9 on TV remotes.
This is a great idea. You’re totally right. I’m a little jealous I didn’t think of it before, ngl.
The fact that there’s no way to force close an app is my real frustration.
I can’t even reboot my tv. I have to agree/disagree to the ToS to get it to actually restart.
I have a piece of shit Samsung TV that needs replacing. When an app crashes I found holding down the standby button for like 20 seconds and then turn it back on seems to kill the apps on the TV so I can reload them.
No idea if it’s a legit fix; but if not the placebo effect makes me feel better. Maybe other TVs could work the same way?
I have 2 LGs, there is no way anyone has found out how other than my method. There aren’t even physical power or menu buttons.
Just pull the plug at that point.
Wow, I guess when Bobby Wagner finally retires he’s all set on his second career
Lol this is spot on
Is this the same guy who programmed Windows Vista? Good god that OS was horrible and would crash if you even looked at it the wrong way
