    Smart TVs are stupid and only exist to make ad revenue and sell user data. I’d pay extra for a TV like an LG C2 OLED but with no OS. Just a monitor that displays sources plugged in.

      Look at commercial displays… and look to pay a lot more for them, which is probably what you’d expect.

      Had a samsung TV I caught with a pihole trying to call home. Had no way of disabling it.

      Switched to a sony TV that lets you turn off smart TV mode. So far data from the router and pihole shows no attempts to bypass that and I don’t think it has hidden mobile network connectivity.

      What was really worrysome was that the thing tried to connect to one of those services that scan whatever you’re watching - I am just using my TV as a playstation screen, even watch Netflix on playstation

      also my boomer opinion on a tangent topic is that I should be able to rearrange or delete the bloatware that comes on my PS (or any device for that matter) angry fist intensifies
