I'm happy to keep my dumb 45' TV for as long as I can. Speaking of which, is it still possible to buy a large diagonal dumb TV these days? like 65' or 75'

  Every TV is just a dumb panel if you don't give it an IP address.

  I recently learned that some Google TVs have a “Basic Mode” that removes all the smart crud. https://www.androidcentral.com/new-google-tv-feature-will-let-you-easily-dumb-down-your-smart-tv https://www.androidcentral.com/new-google-tv-feature-will-le... I haven’t had a chance to look into it further so I don’t know if it’s any good, but it might be worth looking into. (I’m also curious if anyone here has experience with it)
