Don't buy it. (Older TVs of excellent quality can be found second hand for very cheap)

  Older TVs also use more power (and put out more heat). You'll eventually find your game consoles, Blu ray players etc no longer function with the TV as it doesn't support whatever the latest HDCP standard is.

    There are LED 'dumb' TV's.

      Where? Are they cost and quality competitive with "Smart" TV's?
      • astrange 7y ago
        They won't be quality competitive with newer cheap smart TVs, which are all very good - they support 4K/wide color and have dynamic backlighting good enough for HDR. If you insist on a dumb TV and are in Silicon Valley I'll sell you my Panasonic 1080p TV from ~7 years ago. It's got an IPS panel!

        My Samsung SyncMaster T27B300 is a good example. LED TV without "Smart" software.

        Nvidia has an initiative to get manufacturers to make G-Sync capable large displays. Some of these are non smart but large. https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/products/big-format-gaming-displays/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/products/big-format-gam...

Yes, that's a computer screen. But it's 43". That's what you want. (I have it in my living room and you couldn't tell the difference).

  I bought a LG smart TV because it was only 50 Euro more expensive than the non smart one and its display was much better. I never configured its WiFi so it's as dumb as any other TV set but I enjoy the screen.
