Honestly I’d just be happy to have a TV without builtin “smarts”. Let me use my own set to box! I feel like Im collecting TVs from the late 2000s

Just disable the networking and put the TV in game mode, which disables the smart stuff to give more processing power to the TV.

I went out of my way to get a “stupid” TV last time I had to get a new one because I didn’t want the smart stuff. Probably wouldn’t be possible now.

It’s not. I just don’t connect the wi-fi. TVs usually enter a default state of “just go to the last selected input” which works fine for me.

Places like casinos are able to get the dumb TVs. Try to get a hold of one of them somehow. They use them to display their advertising.

I love that the OS for my LG TV pretty much stays out of my way while I run everything through the Roku. The only time I see anything from the TV OS is the occasional small pop up letting me know it completed an update.

One button for everything on the damn TV. I want volume and input at least. I lost the remote again.

Could you possibly tap into the speaker output inside the TV, and use it as a high output for an amplifier? Or possible get some kind of analog to digital converter perhaps?

Huh, that’s the first I’ve heard of stripping an audio signal from an HDMI cable. Makes since though, it’s just digital audio going through copper none the less. What’ll they think of next?

Someone out there made an HDMI adapter for the Wii. I hacked my Wii about ten years ago so I could load it up with emulators. Old 16 bit games look fantastic on my OLED.

I still have a Wii with a custom launcher and a hard drive full of games lying around. I should use it again, there isn’t another game quite like excite truck.

Excite truck is amazing. Being able to put your own music in the game was (for lack of better phrasing) game-changing.
