My answer is a home projector. It’s not 4K but it’s cheap and puts out a great display. It’s also just a projector without any applications or network access.

- avh02 5y agoThis is the route i went (though admittedly mostly by accident), unfortunately do have a "smart AV receiver/amp" but the functionality there's too convenient for me to kill all networking. If i had to buy a TV now I'd avoid a smart one like the plague.
- polskibus 5y ago4K projectors are getting cheaper, although some reviews doubt the quality improvement.
- smackeyacky 5y agoYeah but the instant you plug in a chromecast to watch netflix or disney+ they got you. Blu rays are drying up at an alarming rate, at least it feels that way.
- austincheney 5y agoThat tracking is limited by account and/or access device. It is not bound to the display. I use a Roku and who knows what data they share with the channel providers, but at this time I doubt they are giving unfettered network access, outside of content request/response, to the channel providers.
- distances 5y agoI think I can accept the tracking Chromecast does when I stream Netflix through it. I have it behind a remote switch so that Chromecast only gets electricity while I'm watching something, then it just gets switched off again. Or am I underestimating the tracking Chromecast is doing?
