is it that hard just to a regular TV? i think with all the AI backlash and Smart TV fatigue that's kinda a reasonable solution. Def won't hurt anybody
The companies making TVs don’t want to sell simple displays, they want to expand their businesses beyond just one time sales of hardware. So they and the store fronts don’t offer the average consumer a simple display. People can still find them, but they need to be actually looking for a dumb TV and know what to look for.
I have my TV on WiFi network that has no Internet access so at least I can control it via homeassistant still. It doesn't need Internet for anything but the UI so just get a shield and strip that down

I hate when companies do nonsense like this.
Some best buy asshole convinced me to buy LG this last time because "it's the same screen as the bravia, but lower price so you can get the sound bar too!". Yeah fuck that, Sony doesn't jerk me around. WebOS doesnt even fucking WORK unless you agree to every sharing option and update. Next time I'll just pay the extra.
And they still haven’t figured out how to stop Netflix from crashing 15 minutes into every other show I watch. First year I had it no problems. Then one day about two years ago, bam, unwatchable.
