Please tell me where I can get a modern high-res TV that is NOT smart. I have tried but cannot find them anywhere

    I recently bought a Thomson TV that's HD and with no smart features at all. The only downside is that the image contrast is not the best.

    Just buy a tv, then don't connect it to anything. But likely that you are going to connect something smart to it, so it doesn't matter.

    It is possible to put it in a VLAN that is unable to talk to the internet. This is fine, but I wish I could just get a TV that doesn't have this tracking functionality to begin with.

    Dumb tv's are still a thing but they are priced insanely high

    What are you using to watch on the tv?

    I have a Nvidia shield pro currently running Plex and Jellyfin (sometimes Jellyfin cannot decode the videos and trans-coding is off), I am thinking about moving away from that and go custom Linux build on a mini PC. For live TV I have the app from my internet provider, although I rarely use it. Because the shield runs AndroidTV you can basically just install Prime, Disney, Netflix, etc. apps to run those. For YouTube I use a modified app that has ad and sponsor block build in, can't remember which one it is, but there are enough to choose from. Everything is routed through a Pi-Hole with dns enforced on the router to use it, instead of external ones (in case an app gets smart and tries to use their own). Next to the Shield I also have an extensive DVD/Blue ray collection, most of which have been moved to the NAS that has the Jellyfin server. There are still enough things to do, but I don't have the time to do all the things I want to do.
