With the LG thing happening I was going to post something like "use a cheap PC and a computer monitor", but realized that's not accessible to many.
Do "dumb" TVs even exist?

@MuseumJoe Check Goodwill.
@drwho @MuseumJoe there are strong questions about whether or not the LG thing is even happening. I didn't watch the video (2 hours? ain't got no time for that), but this guy breaks down why they didn't really prove anything at all and likely misunderstand basic functionality. The Automatic Content Recognition is real, but the rest might not be. And the "we own the glass" statement wasn't even said by anyone at LG??
"It's scanning your network" -- no that's just mDNS / SSDP
"It's recording your voice to text" -- they just showed logs when you use voice search. "But it's always listening" -- yeah it supports a wake word like "Alexa" -- the default is “Hi LG".

@drwho @MuseumJoe it would be kinda funny if they got sued by LG for libel and lost
