I continue to look for dumb tvs, but there are precious few. They're either small, or big outdoor monitors. I want an awesome screen TV that's dumb as dirt.

Every TV is a dumb TV it isn't connected to internet.

Pretty sure roku ones don't allow to be used until you accept their terms online

Wow, I'm glad I never had the chance to experience that

They all have annoyances when you don't do what they want. I want a TV that doesn't want anything.
