I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again (www.androidauthority.com)

Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

Other than that, my requirements were pretty simple: no fancy hardware for gaming or video upscaling, and I don’t watch enough TV to justify expensive OLED, so a 4K LCD with some HDR capabilities would suit.

Dude bought a 4k TV while trying to get as little upscaling as possible and is upset it's laggy?

Most media is still 1080, and a 4k TV is going to upscale it...

Buying one without paying attention to upscaling ability, means you're going to get a TV with low processing power, and all the menus will be laggy for the same reason.

He could have saved a lot of money buying a 1080 tv, got the same picture, and have more responsive TV because it's not always struggle to upscale to 4k

But he didn't know what he was doing and now he wants to blame everyone but himself.

But if anyone wants to make a smart TV dumb again, just plug a source into it and use that and it's the exact same as a dumb tv.

Most new movies are in 4k and I'd say half of all new shows are in 4k. What are you talking about?
