My TV’s getting on a decade old. It’s getting bad burn in around the corners. It’s time is coming, and I’m prepared to replace it. In an ideal world I’d get a 4K HDR TV with OLED. Is it possible to get a high quality TV that doesn’t have smart features? They’re completely redundant for me so I’d hope that I could save money that way.

Look up tvs for campers and RVs. They don’t use name brand, they are all knockoffs. And I’m pretty sure they aren’t smart tvs. Otherwise, never hook the tv up to the internet, or remove the physical input/antenna off of the board.

I was really just hoping I could cut those features to save money.

Making a TV a smart TV costs companies next to nothing as its just cheap software. Your best bet is to check out brands like Westinghouse or Element. But I will warn you that you aren’t guaranteed to get years and years out of those TVs as the panels often go bad. You’ve got to remember that you get what you pay for, and for someone like yourself who keeps products as long as possible, you should buy something with good craftsmanship. Just don’t buy a Vizio, ive had terrible experiences with those American pieces of crap.

Well, they are knockoff tvs and are super cheap. Funniest part is that our 3 year old s*msung just took a shit, but our LB in the other room is still choochin along just fine.
