It finally happened. My ‘dumb’ TV died for good. Looking for recommendations on a new TV. I’ll be hooking it up to a media PC anyway, but I still want a TV with a good panel and absolutely no microphones, cameras, or baked in ads (Looking at you roku). If anyone knows any good ‘dumb’ TV’s too, I’d be very interested in looking at those.
Buy a “smart” TV and don’t connect it to the internet.
Don’t use the remote it comes with that has a microphone; used HDMI-CEC or a universal.
