Oh that’s a point, probably not cheap though, maybe not good for home cinema? Not heard of Sceptre, will check out. I’m happy just not connecting my TV mind you.
Sceptre is cheapo stuff. And at least one brand of smart TV is wardriving to find networks behind your back (again, drunk, I can’t remember which right now) and creating mesh networks with other TVs of the same type.
Learned skill. I spend a lot of time drunk and Android tends to do a pretty good job of guessing what I’m swiping.
I also tend to reread what I wrote when I’m drunk. I actually generally do a worse job sober because I won’t double check my work.
And it was signage displays for the dumb TVs I was thinking of, and Sharp TVs used to have unsecured wireless networks that you couldn’t really turn off, so they’d make a mesh with other smart TVs. I believe I’ve heard the same thing about Samsung as well.
If the room is small enough room with the seating closet enough to the screen, a large computer monitor could do the job pretty well. You’d have to be fine with doing all input switching and audio control on a receiver or only ever use a single device as the input.
That’s not true. I forget what the term is, but corporate displays are dead simple, no ads or bullshit. Think of something sold to a deli to display menu items. But be prepared: consumer TVs are so cheap partly because of the expected ad revenue, these will be more expensive. I’m about to buy my first TV upgrade in over a decade and I’m just going to never connect it to Wi-Fi. I might even disable the wireless adapter, we’ll see…
Get a dumb TV and plug in a cheap computer where you can pirate everything
If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy
I’m not sure they exist, but either way, just plug something in and don’t connect the TV itself to the internet.
Sceptre has some dumb TVs. You can also still get the display TVs that companies use. I’m drunk so I forget what they’re called.
Cathode ray dude recently did a video on them

That is a pretty horrific thing. Policy is so far behind if that is allowed.
I must say, your typing is flawless for a drunk person.

Now it’s time to go jog myself sick.
They simply don’t exist anymore. The only choice is to do this with a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.
