I feel conflicted.
On one hand, my Vizio comes built in with several apps—NetFlix, Hulu, Local News—that improves the overall tv watching experience. Without the apps installed, I doubt that the members of my house hold would be consuming half the amount of entertainment. On the other hand, I hate the fact that data leaks to Vizio.
So, what's the best way to strike a balance?
Buy a "non-smart" tv and plug in a laptop (or rasberry pi) via an HDMI cable?
- jusuchin 10y agoTry finding any newer "non-smart" tvs.
- itsmemattchung 10y agoYou're probably right. The last time I hunted for a new TV was about 3-4 years ago; I'm guessing nowadays, most (if not all) TVs are now "smart."
- marceldegraaf 10y agoLook for the Humax Pure Vision Display. Comes in 43", 49", and 55". 4K, with a bunch of HDMI/USB ports, and no more.
