Anyone still making non smart tvs?

[Fleming]

Is there anyone still making normal tvs? I'm looking for something in the 50" to 55" range but they all seem to be smart tvs. Only non smart ones I can find are cheap 32" models.

Does it matter..? You are not forced to use the smart functionality and the TV being smart is no longer a cost factor like it was some time back..

I guess not. Im just curious because most people I know (myself included) would rather use a separate streaming box that can be cheaply replaced in the future when the OS becomes out dated.

As long as you put some adhesive tape over all the built-in spy cams, and cut the wires on all the built-in spy microphones, and delete all the built-in spyware, then there will be literally no difference.

Save some tin foil for the rest of us that actually use it for cooking...

Got a Twinpower one from the Chinese indoor market at Bruma Lake a few years ago. Remote packed up immediately, replacement packed up a month later. CRT portable TV still working but lost colour ability after about 3 years.
