Does anyone still make good “dumb” TVs that don’t want/need an internet connection?
No. Ad revenue offsets the cost of TVs. That’s why they’ve become so cheap. Very few people would pay the extra cash for TVs without it so they don’t manufacture them.
Easy solution: buy an external whatever and never connect it to the internet. HDMI-CEC means it will turn on and auto switch the input to whatever device turned on.
Why should a TV ever need updates? Does anyone still make good “dumb” TVs that don’t want/need an internet connection?
I wanted a dumb tv. I was so sick of looking, I just got a 27" gaming monitor with 2k resolution for $150.
You can also get a 32" 4K monitor for like $500 but I didn’t really need that.
Askin’ the real questions here… average answer i’ve seen is Buy a monitor instead.
I believe the search term you seek may be “commercial signage display”
