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?

if I was in the market I'd look at commercial signage displays first. explicitly digital signage because nothing is free from software anymore but signage needs to be plug and play.

Otherwise you're looking at computer monitors.

Personally I have an old Sonique lcd from the analogue change over so it has a bunch of RCA, Component, Hdmi, a tosloink, an analogue tuner that doesn't blue screen so I can watch static if I wanted to (or use a game console from before RCA without modding it) and a digital tuner. and the best part is it has a sleep button that just fucking works.

I do want to find a better option than chromecast but that's a different story.
