Lobotomize my TV.

Or yours.

My TV was a AU$420 42" LCD that was approximately the last of the models that dont have built in bullshitware.

One day it will break I suppose. Probably should have bought ten of them.

Now might be a good time to stick up on secondhand dumb TVs.

Fortunately I enjoyed watching movies / series, but not so much that I think a $3000 / better quality display would enhance the experience significantly. I also can't justify that sort of expenses on a screen.




Lobotomizing my TV is an apt description for what I did to my old TCL. I just removed the entire wireless module.


I got a 48 in LG from Costco for $300 (OLED C1 can be had for around $800 I think). I just never hooked mine up to the internet. Works just fine. I use an Apple TV to watch streaming stuff.
