Gotta love how companies can remove features after you've bought them. Should be grounds for being eligible return imo

where are you getting modern tvs with good displays that aren't "smart"?

[–] EisFrei@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Most TVs will stay dumb if you don't connect them to the internet and only use the HDMI port.

That’s not what he asked. You still pay extra money for smart features that you do not use this way.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

No, you pay extra not to have those. Smart TVs are typically FAR cheaper than an equivalent quality dumb tv because the price is subsidized by selling the data they collect.

You’re best buying a smart tv and just never connecting it or setting up any of the smart features.
