I can't really imagine being close enough to any screen where I need more than 1080p. I'm sitting across the room, not pressing my face against the glass.

4K looks the same as 8K on a 46" TV
Resolution =/= graphics
This is me, but TV is from 2009.
My takeaway from this comment section is that smart TVs are straight from hell and should be treated as such. It is very important, that you get a TV BEFORE smart TVs were a thing.
Nah, you can buy new TVs
Just make sure they can be used without network and then never connect them to the internet.
Bought a new TCL recently, none of the smart features work, but got excellent screen quality with all the new specs.
Mine is that I’m not the same demographic than most Lemmy users who comment here.
Lmao sorry
Display technology has advanced quite a bit since smart tvs have become ubiquitous, though. So you are sacrificing quality to avoid those headaches.
Personally I just don't give my smart TV an internet connection.
That's what I did too. It has no connection and I don't use any of the smart TV features. Instead I have my own box I'm using. I never felt this stupid.
I legit just had an Olevia branded 37 inch TV I’ve had since 2007 bite the dust finally. 16 years was a hell of a run, It cost me $600 at the time, which cost me roughly $37.50 per year of use. RCA ports went out partially ages ago but the HDMI just kept ticking. It was an lcd and I never had a single pixel die out on me. Played everything from GameCube-Wii-Switch ,PS2-4, OGxbox-360-XboxOne and ran a chromecast for the last 3-4 constantly. Felt like I was putting a dog out to pasture. Loved that bad boy.
