i love to update the operating system on my television. its so cool that there's another little computer in there which does nothing for me that i despise and have to take care of

Best stick to streaming boxes, Roku and AppleTV get updated for longer than the big tv makers update their smart tv O/S.

hard to find a good display these days that isn't "smart." I have an LG OLED with web OS that I use a Chromecast with.

Time for someone to find some easy teardown/bypass models. Or a market gap for monitor manufacturer to step up with bigger pixels, for large TV but with 'only' 4k res

yeah I dunno if the market for 65"+ monitors realistically exists

It does! "Commercial displays" used in airports and things. Sadly some of those are getting smarts now too, but sometimes that's limited to a serial port

huh, I wouldn't have figured those kinds of displays would be 4k, 120hz, HDR capable, etc., but maybe economies of scale make that make sense.

I take it back. I searched around and nearly all the commercial displays I'm finding now also have a computer inside usually with some sort of digital signage platform preinstalled 🤦‍♂️ I'm hanging on to my 2015 ViewSonic not-smart commercial display as long as I can

great, so some bored hacker with a deauth board can set displays to show all flights cancelled or whatever
