Linus Tech Tips
I bought a TV with NO 'Smart' Features...

Samsung, LG, TCL, HiSense and pretty much everyone else tout the benefits of their "smart" operating systems included with their TVs. But honestly, I don't need my TV to be yet another computer to serve ads to me and steal my data. I already got a bunch of those! But escaping from the grips of TizenOS, WebOS or even Android TV is difficult, especially when precious few companies sell modern displays without the OS cruft. Well, Sceptre has a 75" TV that is simple as can be. But is their TV with no Smarts just plain dumb?
