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

I've had some that actually will not let you use it until you have accepted the user agreement, sold your soul, created an account, verified the account, then signed in. That is also why I won't buy any TV that uses Roku.
Can't you just go through the setup process with some dummy account details then just disconnect everything when it's done updating?
I actually tried creating an account then just signing out, but then it just sent me RIGHT back to the login screen. You had to be logged in to even use the damn thing.
I heard that Roku TVs (not the sticks) disable HDMI until you have connected to the internet and registered an account. I also heard that their TVs are way chattier and force more ads than their stick.
Ironic because the one device I would want to connect to its HDMI is a Roku stick.
Not saying you're wrong, but I never had to create an account on my TCL TV running the Roku TV software. You can even choose an input to start up to, so I never even see the home screen ads.
Wouldn't surprise me if it varies by model, but I've had no issues just having mine start up to a Fire Stick connected to my home Plex server (though Fire Stick comes with its own problems).
I have several roku tvs in my house and I've never heard that, and I've never had to setup any type of account...
Sources for what? The article is about ads, ads appearing in live broadcasts, and disabling them in the tvs settings. The post is about having to setup an account or certain hardware like hdmi ports, not functioning.
What am I missing?
