I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don’t want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that’s my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. ‘Sceptre’ is not available here.
In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:
- ‘non-smart TVs aren’t a thing’ - fallback is a commercial display
- ‘Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs’ - I do
- ‘Any TV not connected to internet is dumb’/ ‘Just don’t connect it’ - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.
Thanks!
Edit:
Some commenters seem to be struggling with the ‘why do you care if it connects?’. Some examples why:
I’m guessing those aren’t as big and you have to buy them by the hundred
If you have a local audio/video company, give them a call. Most of the big brands have a whole product line geared towards hospitality use that gives much greater control over “smart” features. They’re usually not available to the general public, but an A/V dealer should be able to hook you up
