Anything dumb and oled? I'd like to upgrade my LG 1080p but not yet found a top quality image but with dumb internals. So far, I just don't connect to Wi-Fi. S

  You can buy commercial OLED displays for a lot more. Considering there really aren’t any mass produced OLED computer monitors yet, this is a rather limited market. The LG OLEDs run Linux and have been rooted in the past with public CVEs/PoCs, so I’m sure a moderately talented reverse engineer could get code execution and strip out a lot of the crap. Probably easier to start a community around that instead of hoping for a good commercial model.

    Doing reverse engineering on a tv sounds like it costs hundreds or thousands in time, with few guarantees.

      And probably illegal too, due to DMCA.

  It's like we are right back to waiting for the CRT to warm up. Why do all consumer electronics have such latency these days? Buy a $20k car and the software lags turning on the FM radio. This is the world we've built.

    Worse, the software lags turning OFF the radio. If you left the radio running a little loud last time you turned off the car, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it for 30 seconds. The on/off switch and volume knob are ineffective. And this was a $30k car.

  My parents have two LG displays that are NOT connected to the Internet in any way and the function just fine. Just because the smart crap is there doesn't mean (at least with some manufacturers) that you have to pay any attention to it.
