I got an LG CX tv and never hooked it up to the internet. It acts as a (very pretty) yet dumb tv like the old days.
An Nvidia shield handles all the streaming, kodi handles local files etc, all the media that I could possibly need.
4k is handled by default out of the box.
Surround sound is handled by an AV receiver. (Atmos surround is available if I wish to further upgrade the 7.1 speakers).
It can be done. Granted, it’s not cheap and installing all these devices can be painful, but still.
- bierjunge 5y agoI have bad news for you. Even if the TV is not connected to your WiFi, it could still get into the network over other devices connected via HDMI with HEC [0]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#HEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#HEC
- patrickk 5y agoAlthough it could be a general concern, it unlikely to affect me. Since all the HDMI connections are via a (slightly older, non-connected) AV receiver, its almost impossible for this to affect my setup. But it's indeed a sleazy move by those setting the HDMI standards.
- brokenmachine 5y agoHave there been any devices confirmed to use this yet? I'm getting so tired of these constant battles with the devices I paid for.
