So start making more dumb TVs and speakers. That way they don't need much memory.

    I just want a straight up monitor with no built in wifi or Bluetooth or even speakers.

    Just display the image I want it to when I want it to.

    Literally this. Let me use my own fucking box and my own goddamn pc how I want with big monitor. Also put DP on it fuck HDMI. I don’t need trackers in my bloody tv OS. My tv has an OS!!! That’s ridiculous. Sorry this is one of those things I’ve always been super pissed about.

    Man I'm really dreading buying a new TV. Been going strong with my plasma for years. I don't need any "smart" features in a tv. From what I understand you either get a good TV or a "dumb" TV, pick one.

    But a good tv, and don’t connect it to the internet. Apple TV or Shield device.

    televisions of the near future when you first turn them on: "Internet connection and account required to complete initial product set up."

    My TV channels now come in through an app and just recently it started working on my Nvidia shield, still I can't really disconnect the net from my samsung tv because explaining to my father how to use the tv app is already hard, he would not handle using it through the nvidia shield.

    Yeah, pretty much. Any decent display on a TV is gonna have all the shit you don't want, but you can (at least for now) just not connect your smart TV to the internet. You;'d have a good TV with the "smarts" neutered. But you're still paying for it.

    It's a bit like the ATSC broadcast stack. You likely aren't using it, but the industry still makes you pay for it (and it's not cheap).
