"Commercial displays" are my new standard. Love it. Fuck 'smart' TVs.

The dumb displays cost more than smartTVs with more software and beefier compute. When I spot that the dumb one that doesn't phone home costs more I've started assuming the price difference is a fair way to estimate how much economic value they get from the spying.

That may be a part, but the commercial displays are theoretically built for heavy use. Mine is rated for 16/7/365. I bought a gen behind on sale so the price wasn't too much higher considering the build quality and components. I'm sure they make some money by preloading apps and preventing others from being installed. Either way, it's retarded. I'll go back to not having a TV is I can't find a display. We did it for years until inheriting a smart TV that quickly broke lol

I'm currently using a smart tv that has no connection as a display for a streaming box that can only stream off my local network.
