    Can’t you simply not connect your display to the Internet, or place it after a firewall which is blocking the internet traffic.

    I seriously don’t understand your concerns.

      You can, but it’s not a perfect solution. Mostly because the TVs interface is still designed around this app mentality.

      I bought a Samsung TV recently and it’s never been on the internet, but I still have to go to a dead home screen where all of the ads would be just to switch inputs and half the buttons on the remote are for services I don’t want.

        But they need darkness, a relatively large room and a whole spare wall… Wouldn’t really fit a projector screen in the little corner between the fridge and the cupboard where our TV hangs from an arm, even the smallest ones aren’t small enough. And where would you keep the projector itself, on your lap?
