I have one of our old computers hooked up to a dumb TV. I download pirated stuff from my seedbox through SFTP and stream Netflix and other such services through the browser. I can watch literally anything that has ever existed in the history of the world within 30 seconds of deciding I want to watch it.
This is why I want to piece together a oled from components, so I can have the screen but use monitor parts and it will never be smart
Took a while but I found a decent dumb tv to buy. It’s working well for me but some folks have said the lifespan isn’t super long since it’s an off brand with a four star build quality. But the damn thing turns on in under five seconds and the picture quality is great.
I did the same thing a couple of years ago. Both of my older dumb TV's bought the big one within weeks of each other. So I searched and found 2 new dumb TV's.
We rarely use them for anything other than casting from the unofficial streaming sites. When my inlaws visit they watch broadcast TV on them.
My teens use their phones or computers.
It's us or Capitalism... Personally I just use my Smart TV as a second monitor... if I wanna use it as a TV, I just go to tubi
get and root an android tv box, if you want a cheap one, get a xiaomi mi box, don't get cheap-ass chinese crap (like the X... ones) from AliExpress.
