  I hear but have not verified that they will connect to an open network without letting you know.

    I have definitely had to forget networks, then have them connect to that network weeks later at random, then having to forget the network again. Don’t know how that’s legal.

  Better yet, buy a big monitor.

    If there were big monitors with the same color quality and in the same price range I’d do it. But usually large monitors are for signage.

    At least that’s what I’ve found.

      You want a “commercial display”. They are dumb TVs for signage and whatnot. You won’t be getting the cutting edge display technology, but you still get a great display and no smart functions.

        …and presumably you pay through the nose for it.

  But it doesn’t eliminate the problem, it merely passes it to the media center PC etc

    Smart TVs are designed to surveil you, a media center PC can be used however you want. Flash Linux and run Jellyfin and torrent everything through a VPN, then nothing can track you.
