>Have you tried shopping for a TV in the past 5 years? Actually, scratch that – have you used a “smart” TV in the past 5 years? – it’s awful. Sure, displays are getting better, but manufacturers insist on cramming bloatware and spyware, embellished in the worst UI imaginable, running on a processor designed for a smartwatch.
Anyone have recommendations for a "dumb" TV in 2024?
- kredd 3y agoHonestly, any smart TV connected to Apple TV is fine. You can skip the wifi enablement on your TV and will never think of the bloatware in your life. Been with that setup for 5+ years, have absolutely zero complaints about my “smart TV” for that reason.
- rcarmo 3y agoYup. My LG is stuck at the EULA “we reserve the right to watch what you watch” screen but works fine as a dumb monitor for my Apple TV, SHIELD and Xbox.
- MisterSandman 3y agoThe only choice you have is a monitor, if the screen size you were looking for isn’t too big.
- Loughla 3y agoSceptre baby. Cheap. Good picture. No stupid smart features.

Best Buy search even has a filter for "Non-Smart" -- this is a whole thing. Insignia is their house brand. These are their 5 sizes.
- okanat 3y agoYou can buy a public information display and reject to set up the smart parts. It doesn't force any connectivity. Samsung has QH and QM models for that.
