I was looking to buy a TV for my living room, but many people say that smart TVs are a privacy nightmare. I thought maybe I could buy a smart TV, disconnect it from the internet and plug in a raspberry pi or something. But I really don’t want to control it with a mouse and keyboard. 😵
So do any of you know of any good privacy friendly TV setups? Or know which brands are the least privacy invasive? Thanks ☺️

I have an old-ish dumb TV. Just look around on something like Craigslist and you’ve got a good chance of finding one
Sadly I can’t really find any good dumb Tvs. Isn’t a smart TV with disconnected internet just as good for privacy?
