Would be nice, but I have kids, and it’s really hard to watch a movie together on a phone. I need another soon-ish, so I’m going to look into hospitality TVs and projectors.
Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months agoI’ve stopped buying TVs. It’s difficult to find a dumb one nowadays. I watch on my phone or my computer monitor.

Why not just buy a TV and not connect it to the internet?

That’s the backup plan, yes. I haven’t looked at newer TVs recently, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they still had some kind of ads even if they don’t connect to the internet, or they require connecting to the internet to activate the TV or something dumb like that.
My current TV only connects for Netflix, and I’m this close to cutting that out (just need my wife to finish her series). Everything else is on my Jellyfin server, and if I can get everyone to switch to that, I won’t need any kind of internet connection for the TV.

I just dont connect the TV to the internet and hook a separate media center up to the HDMI port.
