    I’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?

      Some smart TVs require you to connect them to the Internet before you can even use them with HDMI. It’s a changing world. This post has a lot of interesting comments.

      My experience with LG/WebOS has been fine if I don’t try to get online. It doesn’t pester me to do so.
