My TV's getting on a decade old. It's getting bad burn in around the corners. It's time is coming, and I'm prepared to replace it. In an ideal world I'd get a 4K HDR TV with OLED. Is it possible to get a high quality TV that doesn't have smart features? They're completely redundant for me so I'd hope that I could save money that way.
From what I know, they're not really doing the 5g stuff yet. Once they do, there's a decent chance you could actually remove the sim card, if you can get to it.
They might just program the shits to shut down without a sim - at which point you'd need some homebrew firmware...
Someone will probably figure it out, maybe. In general though, I think it's wise to hold on to dumb devices as long as possible
Can't wait for tvs to go the John Deere route and just become inoperable if you don't pay a monthly subscription.

Maybe, but that might mean putting it on the panel itself, taking away screen real estate. If you open it up, you'd need to be quite mindful not to short the whole thing
