Funny you mention dumb devices.I've been searching for a dumb TV now for a bit, can't find them anymore. It's so annoying that everything is connected to the internet now. I don't need my entire life hooked into the internet.

yeah, anything media is hard to get without "smart" stuff, but you don't need the bluetooth enabled shaver, trust me.

i also bought a tv/monitor recently and the size and features i wanted were only available on a smart one, but i never connected it to the web. it just complains about it in a grey box top right every start. it probably uses a bit more electricity, because of a proper CPU running all the time.

How else mega corps are going to find out my ballsack shaving schedule?

😄 It's significant for when to show you more balls related ads on the big screen of the smart TV 😆

Probably not in stores, but you can get PC monitors up to about 43", and there are also "commercial signage" or "business" displays which are about $150-200 more than a similarly spec'ed smart TV from the same company (lots of Samsungs on Amazon), and may not come with a stand or possibly speakers. Some smart TVs also let you switch inputs without connecting to WiFi. I think most mainstream media projectors are not smart yet, though it's creeping into that space as well. If everything else is already tracking you, I do tend to wonder how much worse the TV is, but there are ways to pay for a little less privacy invasion from your "TV."

Every TV can be a dumb TV if you don't give it your wifi password...
