I think the only way to sanely and safely use a modern "smart" tv is to use it as a "dumb" monitor. How ironic. Never use the software, except once to select HD

I think the only way to sanely and safely use a modern "smart" tv is to use it as a "dumb" monitor. How ironic. Never use the software, except once to select HDMI 1 as the input, or whatever. That's the last time you'll see their cumbersome interface, or ads, or anything else that you didn't explicitly send to it.
