    My wife and I bought a TV on the internet. What brand? I have no idea but it’s the type they have in waiting rooms and restaurants. Zero internet. Zero apps. You push the button and it turns on. It’s the best fucking purchase we’ve made in the last five years.

      I recently purchased a current year TCL, I don’t remember the model number but it’s the one right under their flagship.

      It’s 75" and is the most beautiful tv I’ve owned. Fast, almost OLED levels of dimming, I’m in awe when watching the right content.

      I’d pay an extra $500 for a version with no smart capabilities. Let me turn it on and boot into my android box, or console, or whatever.

      Got ours second hand from a buy nothing group. It has no apps. It doesn’t know what the internet is. It has D-SUB and RCA ports. It’s perfect

      Commercial displays are like that. I have a couple that haven been decom’d from work I use. They don’t have speakers but I don’t need those anyway
