“The TV business isn’t just about selling TVs anymore. Companies are increasingly seeing viewers, not TV sets, as their most lucrative asset…”
Oh I didn’t know that. Sorry I was living my life to the fullest sailing the high seas 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
sounds of the fan for a raspberry pi running pihole begin to filter through the background noise ya’ll allow ads on your network?
Sceptre TVs. All dumb, affordable and are great in terms of panel. That’s my next brand now that my old LG Nanocell is already showing dead pixels.

They do sell smart TVs too, but that’s not what any of us is looking for.
I just got one of these last week for $150 new. The panel won’t be winning any awards for visual quality, nor will the speakers be lauded by audiophiles, but it perfectly serviceable and affordable.
I bought a new TCL TV recently. Stunning visuals for the price. But I had to jump through a load of unnecessary crap to keep it from phoning home, letting every tech company on the face of the planet know what I watch at 3am every morning before heading out to work.
Need to keep it disconnected from the internet, plugged into an Nvidia Shield that had the projectivity launcher installed alongside plex and steam link, and with a whitelist on my router preventing it from accessing anything other than my media server and linux pc, because that covers all I will ever use the TV for.
End result: a near dumb TV that is able to watch anything I want to watch, and play any game I want to play, but without all of the ads and tracking nonsense.
what the hell guys, it’s not even free and i am the product anyway ?!
