won't prevent Roku from delivering undismissable banner ads during live TV, then throwing their IT team under by bus by calling it "a glitch".

100% that idea was cooked up in a marketing boardroom.

I have a Sony x900h and the only time I remember that it's a smart TV is when I accidentally hit the "home" button instead of the "input" button on the controller.

Buy a monitor. They have massive 55 inch 4K monitors now. It probably has everything you need unless you have cable or something

you'll end up paying a lot more if you do this. Just dont connect the tv to the internet after the initial set up.

and most tvs are just regular tvs if you switch inputs. So if you're planning on using a different device then its a non issue.

Seems to be he doesnt want to see ads.

I also posit that simply not connecting to the internet will fix this entire issue.

They track everything you watch and sell it to advertisers.

Ads on smart tvs actually help make the tvs cheaper

That's why if u buy a giant monitor it's more expensive than a normal TV

I have a smart TV in my room that I never connected to the internet. I have never had it, in any way shape or form, do anything to suggest it was a smart TV. Never had it show me an ad or even try to get me to connect it.

No internet connection means it may as well be a dumb TV.

So where will you source your smart activities from?

You don't want the thing you look at to be smart. Hmm.

I like the smart TV we have, it's nice having all the apps we want and being able to cast YouTube from my phone to the tv.

Because sometimes I don't have the app open on the TV and it's easier to start it ok my phone. Plus it's easy to type in what I want to watch instead of moving to each letter.

There isn't really a viable ad-blocker for TVs yet, outside of pi-hole.
