This. I had a samsung tv connected, but they had to go full retard and push completely unimportant notifications about some apps I never used anyway, so I disconnected it and now play everything from kodi on rpi. Feels good.

Time to never buy from them again

just dont connect them to the internet
problem solved

the only reason I bought a smart tv was because it was dirt cheap and it could play video from a usb drive, which is a hell of a lot more convenient than hooking it up to my computer

>>61955389
are you me?

Good thing I bought an LG TV

Is it possible to get new TV's that aren't smart?

I just want a new high end 4k TV without all the bullshit.

>>61955993
No, but you can buy a 40-43" 4k monitor.

You can plug the Apple TV into a Dumb TV(tm) and make it a Smart TV. The resolution, brightness, power consumption and other shit is highly customizable and it is way more secure than an Android TV, what's not to love?

Just wait until next year's model where the TV won't display anything unless your connected to the internet so you're forced to see ads.

>LG has been showing off in-development TVs that use software from a company called Cognitive Networks: Cognitive pumps viewing information back to a database through the internet, allowing marketers to tailor messages in real time. The software analyzes the pixels on your set to not only recognize what is being watched, but also where in the program you’re watching. Cognitive says that Samsung and Vizio are also considering using the software.

Sure all the smart shit is stupid but you can't get the best PQ unless you buy a tv with it. Feels good using a 65 inch 4K with all the bells and whistles despite never touching any of the built in apps. It's normie tier bullshit that you can use more efficiently via your PC, console, tablet or whatever but is part of the marketing necessity. Modern smart hub is actually decent for what it is but all smart tvs up until the last couple generations were total hell to use they were so slow and clunky.

I know having to use an additional device just to block the ads sucks balls, but it's better than having those ads and I've had the RPi longer than the TV.

That's not how it works.
Such bullshit only exists because of capitalism, because ads give Samsung money. If there were no capitalists, no one would get money for ads.
And what's the centre of world capitalism? US of A.
Call Kim, he has solution to get rid of ads worldwide.

>“We are always looking for ways to enhance the TV watching experience,” a Samsung spokeswoman told Ad Age in an emailed statement. “Users can opt-out of these interest based ads at any time in the settings menu of their televisions and still get all of the smart features of their TVs.”

Does anybody else want to vomit after reading this kind of newspeak PR bullshit? You're pushing ads, don't say you're "enhancing the TV watching experience." Oh, and:

>Note the phrasing. Users can’t opt-out of ads, no, they can simply opt out of interest-based ads, which means Samsung doesn’t stop showing you advertising — it just stops showing you ads it attempts to categorize into areas you’re more likely to like.

Slippery cunts.

Couldn't you just block the ads with a wireless router?

>>61955414
It's impossible not to buy a smart TV nowadays.
If any company made a high-quality TV that doesn't come with all these fucking stupid 'smart' features that I'll never end up actually using, I'll buy 3.

I just want a simple TV that only displays whatever's plugged into it. That's all I want.

>>61953110
That's South Korea you burger. Two different countries.

>>61963296
You can use the TV without going into the built-in OS, if you only want to watch things over HDMI you can set it to that and it will only use that, you'll never see the "smart" features.
I have an Android box connected to my TV and never use the TV's built-in OS, but i do have the TV connected to the internet to get firmware updates.

Can't I just blacklist the ads on router level? I still want to use the steam app because my pc is three rooms away from the living room.

A monitor makes more sense than a Smart TV unless you need 50' or higher. Yes it's more expensive but at least a monitor won't show you ads and harvest your data.

If you don't need more than 42", there are 4k monitors with VA panels, ~$600 price tag and these don't even have TV tuner, so you can connect one you like via HDMI. I'm consider this myself, since 42" is a lot for my small room anyway.

>>61968800
Also, if you buy one without audio out (optical or analog) then you can use hdmi sound extractor, dunno if those work with 4k though, and you'd propably need a good one for DD and DTS. Amplituner would do good too, but that'd be pricy for all of the greatest audio technology.

I wonder if most TVs have a module for wifi that can be removed.

Who's to say that they won't connect to unsecured wifi networks to transmit telemetry even if you don't intentionally connect it to a network?

>>61972146
connect it to your network and block the MAC address so it think's it's connected but it's going nowhere

Doing something like this is more important now that TV makers are spying on your pixels over the network.
