I really wanna ditch the smart TV I have and just get a display that only displays the picture of the devices I have plugged into its inputs and doesn't get online, doesn't receive updates or "improvements" and has inputs for everything:

3.5mm AUX audio

Composite

S-video

RGB

Hdmi

That optical audio jack made by (IIRC) Sony I can't remember the name of right now. It's what my stereo uses and it's amazing. Used to be super common on TVs.

I mean I have that. It's called a smart TV that I never use the smart functions of, connected to the HDMI output of a PC. It's great for watching stream content and I don't have to worry about ads and stuff.

In actual fairness to the TV it isn't too bad in that respect but the interface is just god awful and I hate having to type with a TV remote so I still use the PC.

I recently got really tired of my TV constantly nagging me to update the firmware for all the newest features. I just disconnected it from wifi instead. I do not use my TV for smart features, I use it as a display. I update the things plugged into it, because that's their job. If i need to stream something, I will use a box. A box that can be replaced or easily updated or changed out.

A display has one job, to display whatever.

I'd do that except that every few seconds, a big pop up that takes up 1/4 of the screen from top down tells me that the network is disconnected. 😬

what brand is your television? I wanna avoid it at all costs

Mine is LG. I really really hate the privacy invasion software, but no internet for the tv and it shuts up. No 'no internet' popups at least.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

The standard optical audio jack was developed by Toshiba.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

TOSLINK might be what you’re thinking of. And yes, it rules! I have a surround system that uses it and it sounds amazing

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

...TOSLINK can't handle atmos bandwidth; you need eARC for uncompressed multichannel digital audio...

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I had fun with eARC a while ago, my TV definitely supports it because it was on the box but what it doesn't say is the fact that only one of the HDMI port supports it and it doesn't tell you which one. I had to go online into a random forum to find out, It's port 3 by the way, because that makes perfect sense.

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If only eARC worked well. It's support seems garbage.

I had nothing but problems with eARC. DRM errors. Sound cutting out constantly. Device detection not working so the TV swaps back to internal speakers.

Not one problem since swapping to optical.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 days ago

...i use optical PCM for all my stereo sources; unfortunately with multichannel audio its bandwidth is sufficient only for lossy compression...
