Is there any non-smart TV with good picture quality out there? I mean nobody really uses the "smart" feature of a TV right?
youtube on tv is nice

Just buy a smart TV and don't connect ti to your network or use the functions.
A Lumia 532 costs less than $20, that's the base material cost+labor+profit+distributorcosts+distributor profit+retailers costs+retailers profit+taxes
The 'smart' part of your 'smart tv' is just a shitty mobile SoC, it's not adding to the cost of a TV anymore.
does it matter?
just don't use the 'smart' features, and for the love of fuck don't connect your tv to the internet

The problem with this idea is that the useless, faggot OS that modern TVs run needs to literally boot.
I don't want my fucking TV to turn on 20 seconds after i press the button, i want back in the old days where it was on 1 second later.
>>51629697
Eh, it's kinda neat to be able to use netflix and youtube directly on the tv. Other than that I don't see much point.
>>51629779
i dont really see the point either when you've got a chromecast or whatever which alot of people already do
>>51629756
Then buy a CRT or large PC monitor/LFD.
Every LCD/Plasma/OLED TV takes a good 10-20 seconds to start.
Shit some of those older plasmas could take upto a full minute.
>>51629697
>I mean nobody really uses the "smart" feature of a TV right
Why not? It works fine for Netflix / Plex
>>51629697
i had one of those as a kid.
>broomstick remote
never ran out of batteries, broomstick lenght range, doubled as a weapon and broomstick.
>>51629856
My last LED LCD took 2-3 seconds to start.
My 4K hurr TV now takes a literal 10-12 seconds.
Fucking sucks
>>51629894
Chromecast, apple TV, roku, ps4, Xbox one etc etc
>>51630085
Android stick
Windows 10 stick
Intel NUC
PS3 with that add-on thing
That intel wireless display thing from a laptop
etc
>>51629697
just buy any CRT from the 90s if you don't care about HD.
>>51630216
Ahh yes, all those 65" 4K CRTs
>>51630085
>>51630190
And what's the need if most TVs now come with 'smart' functions OOTB?
Use your brain
Roku, anyone?
>>51630229
Barco or Sony CRT Projector mang.
>>51629697
get a monitor
>>51630323
convenience, navigating through apps using your phone is much less of a hassle using your tv's remote i assume
android/ios probably have a much wider range of apps available too
think for a second
What IS the smart feature anyway? Netflix? Youtube? Dumb games?
>>51630323
The ability to be able to use your programs without having your TV upload your private conversations.
The ability to have a TV where the menus don't constantly lag
>>51629756
>>51629975
Wow how many times do you turn your telebi on every day?
The real problem would be how long it takes to switch channels.
What does a smart TV do that is annoying and yes im sure it does things that are stupidly annoying kike all other "smart" devices
>>51631666
Smart TV's are botnet.
>>51629697
Also, OP, only poor people don't have a smart TV
>>51631690
>le botnet meme
enjoy being poor
>>51631690
Ok but i know they have aggravating "features" that are really
LG has a few non smart TVs. Some 4ks too, if i remember right.
>>51631724
only a faggot would buy a non smart tv.
>>51631483
The amount of times isn't fucking important, just dealing with the shit once would piss me off because it's literally sitting there for 10 seconds doing fucking nothing like a retard, every single day.
I fucking HATE how slow and laggy modern TVs are. Not just in boot up time, but to navigate a fucking menu. Why the hell does my fucking input switcher popup run at 10FPS? It's fucking text over a colour background, a cunting non-scientific calculator could do that fucking shit
I just hate 'smart' tvs so fucking much. I don't want any of their useless, retarded shit and yet i cannot escape them.
And don't even get me fucking started on TVs running android.
Jesus fuck i can barely stand this bloated shit on an $800 phone, don't force me to use it on $10 worth of the finest hardware chongling can put out so that WHEN it fucks up my $2k TV is a giant paperweight
>>51631738
kek. you're just mad you're poor AND stupid.
Get a viewsonic CDE4200-L
> have smart TV
> it's slow as fuck
> all its online features are fucking worthless
> even any current gen video game console can do the same but better
What a waste of fucking money.
>>51631780
you only hate it because you're poor and can't use any of the features.
>>51631752
If i had the ability to pay twice the $1200 i dropped on my 4K TV just to have a 4K 58" monitor with 4 HDMI inputs, i fucking would.
>>51631790
Does a smart tv pull shit like suggesting you take a break or pausing if you are not adjusting the volume like a mad autist?
>>51631808
no. mine doesn't do that.
>>51631815
So absolutely no annoying misfeatures? Nothing that equates to the tv trying to think for you?
>>51631790
Did you even bother reading the post that you felt the need to reply to?
I have one and it was pretty expensive, too. The features are just fucking bad. Getting a TV card for the PC is a vastly superior investment.
>>51631832
I have a roku smart tv. it doesn't do any of that shit you're talking about. I spend a good portion watching local TV and it doesn't do that.
>>51631845
So there is nothing about it that just drives you up a fucking wall?
>>51631843
I own a smart tv because it is a symbol of luxury. I want people to know I'm wealthy and high class and better than them, not poor and stupid. I bet you take the bus too faggot.
>>51631859
>I make $28,000 a year and what i don't spend on KFC and watermelons i spend on the iPhone 6S, my shoes and my TV
>>51631859
>he buys expensive things for the same reason blacks do
>all these shills defending smart tvs
Some of us don't want every device we want to have wireless connectivity and act as a window for the NSA.

>>51631883
go away poor people, the bus is waiting for you.
>>51631859
Woah wow you're sad
>>51631914
My car is worth more than all of your possessions combined, treykwan
>>51631930
You're sad. Until you know the great feeling of looking down upon poor people with a well deserved sense of superiority, you have no right to talk, fucking faggot.
>>51631483
>switch channels.
you watch broadcast/live television?
>>51631991
>well deserved
funniest thing i've heard all day
>>51632371
I'm upper class and deserve to look down upon people who are poor. They're nothing but a parasite.
>>51629814
Why buy a chromecast to do what the smart tv already does?
>>51629697
You can buy a big-ass computer monitor.
>>51630541
you think chrome, apple TV, ps4, etc don't spy on you? kek
>>51631859
If this is true then youre literally low class scum, an empty twisted husk of a human like an Apple user
