How standardized a lcd panels? Could I replace the controller in a smart TV with one of these HDMI to LCD controllers? https://www.ebay.com/itm/375318342725__
minus-squarePresidentCamacho@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoI’ve always wondered this, figure this is the thread to ask it. I’ve been using the same dumb TV since 2013 it’s great, but eventually it’s gonna die an I’m scared of what pieces of shit smart TV’s are. Could I not just use a computer and run it through the smart TV and bypass all the smart bullshit by using it as a monitor?
