I just bought a commercial display as a TV, it’s amazing! No smart features, great clarity and brightness. Super durable, lots of nifty nerdy features.
200$ used for a 70"
How’s the refresh rate?
Shows 1 slide every 3 seconds!
80000K Transcendent HD, 24FPS (perfect for most movies)
2K60, plenty for a TV
Fish.
If LG violates wire-tapping laws, it’s actually your fault.
They’re right You should disable the microphone.

Looks like it’s equally a Windows problem as it is an LG problem. Why the fuck are you automatically installing shit off the internet when peripherals get connected?
Microsoft being Microsoft. In the 90s and 00s, Windows used to auto-launch programs from CDs when you put them in the drive. No check, just looks for an .exe, and silently runs it. Really good way to get a rootkit installed on your machine.
Am probably not buying from LG again, Even if its not a smart TV.
LG bricked my 5.1 sound system because their soundbar failed an automatic update. There is no way to restore the firmware.
fuck LG. never buying their shit again. completely anti-consumer.
Just never tell your TV what the wifi password is.
These nosy-ass companies aren’t going to pay for a cellular connection just to spy on your TV.
please connect to the internet to do anything
If the TV can’t even display basic inputs without connecting to the internet, I’m returning it to the store as defective.
Isn’t the new roku TVs that do this.
Maybe the very new ones? I’ve actually got a relatively new Roku TV (only about a year and a half old), and it works just fine without the wifi password.
Only thing that annoys me about it (and probably would have gotten me to buy a different model if I knew) is that this TV has zero physical buttons. Zero. It doesn’t even have a power button! The only way to control it – even just to turn it on and off – is with the remote. If you lose the remote, the TV is bricked. (I understand omitting physical buttons to cut costs, especially on a budget model like this one, but IMO, it’s still essential to have a power button and an input switching button as physical buttons on the TV itself.) In any future TV purchases, I’ll be specifically checking to make sure they have a physical power button at least. Didn’t even check for it when I bought this TV because it didn’t even occur to me that a TV might not have a power button.
I am bringing this TV back for a refund as it doesn’t work.
Soon they won’t have to because of services like Amazon Sidewalk or the ISP-provided WiFi routers that use the customer’s home to sell internet. Your neighbor’s Palantir camera that spies on you whenever you leave your house will help your TV spy on you inside your house.
Or let it connect and drop it down a sinkhole on its own VLAN.
No idea if this is actually better, but it’s what I do for the free smart things in my house.
The last time I bought a dumb monitor was in 2024. I won’t be buying any for a long time.
are LG fridges still good to go in EU at least?
