      Never connect a smart TV to your WiFi, disable WiFi, connect an Android TV box via HDMI and use that. Debloat, root, or run a custom ROM on that box. Then run SmartTube, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, etc. to bring ad-free sanity to your living room. Obviously a dumb TV is best. But this is your best alternative, if you already have a “smart” TV.

      Sceptre still makes dumb TVs (that are actually consumer TVs, not overpriced digital signage displays).

      Yes. You have to go and look for business display panels, e. g. those used for menus in restaurants, fast food chains, display stands etc.

        The internet is for:

        • porn

        • finding hospitality/digital signage displays, which have even better specs than consumer ones, because they aren’t subject to the same energy saving regulations
