I have a “smart TV” and I plug it into my receiver and use it as a monitor. I use the term smart TV that way, because it is more than 10 years old when TVs were just starting to have these features. I should also point out that the receiver does all of the spying that the TV isn’t doing. Not sure what I’ll do when the TV dies.
Similar for me. I have an old Philips “smart” (actually today it is very dumb as basically all services are disabled and all apps heavily outdated) TV which I occasionally use for watching TV, but most times I use the attached Raspberry Pi with Kodi for watching public German Mediathek, Youtube or Amazon Prime.
Best is to try to get the dumbest TV you can and plug in an android tv streaming box to it imo
I believe that’s called a monitor. Just buy a bigass monitor or projector.
A TV usually comes with a remote, a monitor doesn’t. Additionally, you can use it to watch linear TV if you don’t feel like making a selection.
