It finally happened. My ‘dumb’ TV died for good. Looking for recommendations on a new TV. I’ll be hooking it up to a media PC anyway, but I still want a TV with a good panel and absolutely no microphones, cameras, or baked in ads (Looking at you roku). If anyone knows any good ‘dumb’ TV’s too, I’d be very interested in looking at those.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I tend to go with Panasonic because they make excellent panels. Mine doesnt have ads anywhere in the UI & doesnt have a camera or mic. Our set was originally released in 2021 & still looks great. The menus aren’t great but once its set up we never use them, its turned on/off & thats it. Never connect it to the net. Ours is connected to HTPC & amp
An alternative would be to get a monitor & connect USB TV tuner to your media PC/HTPC
