For those who are still looking for dumb tvs these are the best ones available as far as I'm aware. Bought one last year and works as expected. https://www.sceptre.com/TV/4K-UHD-TV-category1category73.htm...
sceptre seems to be the last brand offering dumb displays I am just waiting for the first "smart" computer monitor

Is there a dumb oled? I want a dumb oled tv and monitor, monitor oled market is surprisingly slim.
"#secure.netflix.com" "#api-global.netflix.com" "#appboot.netflix.com" These are commented out, but did someone really think the app would still work after blocking these? I get blocking ads, but I don't understand the mindset of someone who wants "smart" features but still wants to block everything.
1. It's actually very difficult to buy a non-smart TV. They usually cost more. 2. The comments also serve as a "no really, don't block these" reminder to enthusiastic contributors.
I just have to check manually once in a while and disable while I update the firmware. Of course firmware in most cases can also be updated via USB.

Based on current comments if I were to buy today it'd be a Spectre. The more consumers who refuse to buy a TV with mandatory advertising, the sooner it will stop being profitable.

I was just thinking about how much I hate our TV blasting random shows every time I turn it on. Who on earth wants more “recommendations by ai”? AI is short for advertising industry at this point.
I'll be that guy: I sidestep the problem by not having a TV.
What sucks is that none of this will work once the manufacturers figure out DoH.
im telling you these non-standard unrootable bricks companies keep creating needs to stop. need to balance security and right to own your own device!! let alone enviromental considerations.
