I do lol
1080P HDTV Samsung TV from 2008 or 2009
Regresh rate is 60
Excellent image retention :lol
Nice dark burn in on the bottom right corner, blends in well when watching nature documentaries
I know 4K, smart TVs are affordable these days, but at the same time I don’t watch a whole lot of TV and I don’t think I really need a brand new TV
Until the wheels fall off ?
i also have an old 52 inch 1080 samsung, no built in features/apps at all. but will be getting a new one when i moveQuote:

I was looking around for non-smart TVs and I couldn't find a one, sadly.
Everything has to be connected to the net these days and I dont like it. My brother has had at least 2 TVs brick because of firmware updates.
I want none of that shit. My consoles have all the media I would need so I will stay away from "smart" anything as long as I can hold on.
or you can just, not connect it to the netQuote:

I am wary of updates and support lifetimes for the streaming parts of TVs -- seems easier just to upgrade the boxes and trickle down the older models to the other TVs.
You're over exaggerating the need for a TV to connect to the net.. Sure it may prompt you for a firmware update that may be available, but in no way do you NEED internet for a TV to functionQuote:

I bought a semi-smart 42" Vizio 1080P TV in 2015 for maybe $499? It's fucking hilarious how you can buy a smart 50" LED TV of the same brand for $299 nowadays
I buy that.Quote:

Amazon did give us $50 credit for a fire box. They did the same when our first generation box wasn’t compatible with DirecTV Now.
Onn? Lol what the hell is that?Quote:

When this one goes, I will make the jump. Smart TVs are so damn cheap it’s just not worth wasting any other efforts to try and hunt for non Smart TVs.
Spent $300 and got a 58 inch 4K sharp roku tv
tvs are too cheap these days to really give a shit
They're trash tbh. I'd go for Insignia by Best Buy for a "house" brand non smart TV.Quote:

Neither of them will be used for gaming or anything.Quote:

You can find hella good deals on BestBuy's site that are @ the store but not on the floor. I found our 67 inch LG there in February for like less than $500 OTD.
i dont think that's how it works :lolQuote:

as long as you are careful about the model number, there's no reason you should avoid shopping at any particular store.
