Best privacy tv's? Or dumb none smart tvs?

GonzoKnows@monero.town to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 118 points –

Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv's or other words none smart tv's? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

get any tv and dont hook it to the net. use a device like a nvidia shield, a game console or something similar if you want streaming apps

You think consoles don’t track you? Also they are extremely wasteful when it comes to power consumption. Better just get a tiny streaming stick or a smart tv.

Have you considered that you can play videogames on them?

Yes, but we are discussing streaming here. I also have several consoles and I play on them but for streaming they’re a really bad (expensive) option for the reason I mentioned: electricity.

Tgey can still connect to open networks in your area and send data, I personally disconnected the wifi&bluetooth chip from mine
