You can get a smart TV and just not connect it to the internet. Even lobotomized like this, they still work fine as normal TVs. You can also get a smart device

You can get a smart TV and just not connect it to the internet. Even lobotomized like this, they still work fine as normal TVs.
You can also get a smart device (Roku, Amazon Fire, etc.) and hook that up to any TV to stream things (including Disney+). You can also just hook that computer up and it would work as well (a TV is just a big monitor with sound).
So there is no need to ever "cave", even if you want streaming on a big screen and don't want a smart TV.

- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoThanks, I was starting to think I was going crazy.
- eikenberry 7y agoI was pointed out that they had options. Not what they should do to avoid spying.
- BelleOfTheBall 7y agoWell, I don't see much reason to get a smart TV if I won't be using it as a smart TV. Both people in the household are fine watching on a medium-sized screen, why spend $300-400 just to watch on a bigger one with no other benefits? Maybe once they become just ridiculously cheap, yeah.
