- Exmoor 6y agoIt's essentially impossible to buy a consumer TV that's not "smart" these days. There are commercial TV's/monitors, but those are both expensive and also typically not focused on image quality. Best solution is to "air gap" your TV by not connecting it your wifi or ethernet.
- mirimir 6y agoWhy do I need a TV? Arbitrarily large monitors are available for gaming.
- speedgoose 6y agoTVs are much much more larger. But you don't need a TV obviously.
- mirimir 6y agoI live in a 42 m^2 apartment, so I really don't need that large a monitor :)
- speedgoose 6y agoI used to have a video-projector with a wide lens in a similar sized apartment. Great for movies and slow paced video-games.

- m-p-3 6y agoAnd those manufacturers will double-down by scanning for an open wireless network and send the data stream without you knowing, or embed a cellular modem to bypass all that. It's a truly disgusting trend.
- kd5bjo 6y ago> Best solution is to "air gap" your TV by not connecting it your wifi or ethernet. How long will it be before TVs embed a cellular modem with manufacturer-paid service to keep the smart features connected? “No setup, works straight out of the box” has to have at least some marketing value, after all.
- jablan 6y agoThat's exactly the point of 5G, if I understand it correctly.
- NullPrefix 6y agoMetal roof. Line walls with metallic insulation. There might be something available for the windows too.
- mirimir 6y agoFor the walls and ceiling, prime with 2-3 coats of paint that contains carbon black and graphite. It's black, so several finish coats will be necessary. For the windows, use aluminum screening. That also works well on floors, under engineered wood flooring. Nylon plated with nickel and silver makes nice drapes.
- SturgeonsLaw 6y ago> There might be something available for the windows too Yeah, uninstall it and install Linux ;)
- RealStickman_ 6y agoThat's the point where you install a wifi jammer in your house and do cable only.
- LASR 6y agoWhy would that ever be a thing when the vast majority of consumers connect to WiFi anyway. And why wouldn’t they simply just require an internet connection to display anything?
- ElFitz 6y agoI remember reading somewhere that some of them still tried to connect to any "open" WiFi network they could find
- pjmlp 6y agoThere are still plenty of options in Europe, it is a matter of being picky. As for image quality it is miles ahead of crufty CRT displays, Sony Triniton or the like.
