      My LG C3 not connected to internet and using an HTPC and Nvidia shield is working great so far.

      What you’re looking for are commercial screens. They’re a bit more expensive for a comparable panel, as they are intended for 24/7 use- but are about as dumb as they get nowadays.

        A bit more expensive? I was about to get a smart tv for like 800 bucks. The same equivalent dumb tv wpuld have been a few thousand dollars and Best Buy said they would only sell it to business accounts which was infuriating to read.

          This isn’t a peasant TV. And it doesn’t even have any tracking, I am not sure a pleb can even legally own these. Sorry, but you have to be a wealthy person who watches CP to have it in your home.

      You would likely have to pay more since they aren’t getting to sell your information.

        *you would have to pay more because major companies know they can charge more. There isn’t a limited amount of profit a company wants to mae, and then they pick a price from that, they price it as high as the market will bear.

        Realistically, not only do I not want an 8k tv, but I might not get a tv at all, if I had to do it today. We rarely watch tv anymore. The brainrot is the same but we’re much more likely to use individual screens
