Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv’s or other words none smart tv’s? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

    Dumb TVs have gotten hard to find these days. Your options are to either avoid connecting the tv to the internet, or to get digital signage display (but they are pricier).

        Dumb TVs are often sold under the “commercial monitor” heading. They cost slightly more than their consumer counterparts because they’re not subsidized by spying and ads, but the panel is basically the same. Take a look at the Samsung BET-H series; I have the 43” version, the BE43T-H, and it has been about as unremarkable as a TV can get.

        Yeah, but monitors don’t typically have a remote control or TV tuner embedded. But if that’s not an issue, sure, a monitor would work.
