Better to have a dumb TV with chromecast.
- zbrozek 6y agoIt is. But how? Where'd you buy a dumb TV?
- cortesoft 6y agoBest bet is probably to get a computer monitor.
- Koshkin 6y agoA 65-inch computer monitor is expensive.
- 1qaz2wsx3edc 6y agoMy 55" is much more reasonable.
- StavrosK 6y agoCan you not just not connect it to the network?
- Mister_Snuggles 6y agoI hear that some smart TVs will seek out open Wifi networks and connect to them to get updates. So now your neighbours can (probably unknowingly) connect your smart TV to the internet for you.
- StavrosK 6y agoThat must be the device equivalent of finding a house with an unlocked door and going inside to rummage around their fridge and eat their food. Am I now legally liable for my TV stealing the neighbour's internet?
- a1369209993 6y agoFind a cooperative neighbour and sue the manufacturer?
- paulcole 6y agoIs pirating media the same as shoplifting a DVD from Best Buy?
- Dylan16807 6y agoYou hear that they do, or that they could?
- mirkules 6y agoI tried to do something similar. I didn't want to accept Google's terms of service because of all the data collection, but since I wanted to cast to my TV from my devices, I had no other choice - the TV's interface would just not let me continue
- Mountain_Skies 6y agoI recently bought a very cheap 4K RCA tv that has zero smart features. No networking at all. There is an undocumented USB port but if you plug a USB drive into it, it can browse the file system but can't play anything. It was on the very low end of the price range for a tv of its size and resolution. Maybe that's where to look. Time will tell how well it holds up but it's lasted six months so far.
