does anybody else remember that LG television that was uploading literally everything to LG's headquarters in China, including but not limited to the file names of every file of every hard drive you ever plugged into it? Good times

it's amazing to me that no manufacturer has figured out that there is a market for dumb high end tvs. I don't even want speakers in mine, I have a receiver for that.

(it has speakers). it cost about 4x as much as my functionally identical 48" samsung smart tv

yeah dumb tvs still exist and are more expensive now b/c companies will pay extra for the tv that can be used as a commercial display w/o popping ads up

obviously I'm just going to buy the smart tv and not allow it on my network. it just seems like a wasted opportunity that someone could capitalize on. kind of like those computers at the Microsoft store that come with no bundled crapware.

thats fine if they didnt passive-aggressively put in constant persistent [X] Network Connection Interrupted...Please Check Your Internet Connection popups and banners on the TV itself

i've never gotten a popup ad on my tv or any kind of update warning aside from the first time I took it out of the box you turn it on and there's some SMART TV icons junk that shows up for 5 seconds then disappears and you never see it again. i dunno where all you people are buying these lovely adware popup tvs but my sarnsung doesn't do it.

my dad loves the idea of a smart tv and he's bought at least 6 tv box things and all he does is complain that the netflix app doesn't work right. i can already imagine the laughs im going to have when he buys a real smart tv and it's got some bop it twist it pull it remote and a heads up display showing you commercials and what you are running low on in your fridge

I bought a 55 inch back in 2011. It worked okay until I loving clutzed my way into breaking it a couple years ago. I bought a Vizio replacement, same size, few hundred dollers cheaper, and that time I loving mounted it to the wall so it wouldn't die as easily interestingly the older one only had an optical audio out while the newer one also had RCA audio out. I feel like RCA out disappeared for a bit and then came back, but I could totally be wrong I use my TV as a receiver and run the audio out to my old stereo with bigass speakers. my needs are very suited by this arrangement

My Pinoneer plasma is incredible; the inputs on it are ridiculous. 2 s-video, 2-composite, 6 HDMI, VGA in, optical in, optical out, and RCA out. I saw an HDTV the other day that only had 1 HDMI and 1 composite and that was it

vizio tvs will connect to any open network in order to show you ads related to all the data they send to the ~cloud~

imagine usong that knowledge to compromise networks. like, idk. use a super jammer to knock the network down, then blast your own super high power network so the tv joins it kuz best signal. then install a rootkit on the vizio. then when you leave the vizio rejoins the normal network and spreads the epic virus. idk. sounds like sumthing from mr robot. cool. own the box elliot

it kind of astonishes me how even my computer-savvy friends all have TVs with motion interpolation and super mega contrast and ~HD REALVISION VIBRANT COLOR~ turned on me, being enormous nerd, i took my laptop and an hdmi cable to best buy on a wednesday morning when there was no one there and asked the sales guy if i could gently caress around with the color settings on the demo model of the TV I wanted to get and make sure i could match it to my (calibrated) laptop display to my satisfaction (he said "sure, whatever")
