I heard a talk a few days ago, and the fella said that if you want a non-smart monitor, you’ll need to pay somewhat more for what he called an ‘industrial monitor’. He said the ‘smart TV’ is cheaper because of all the data it’ll collect, and they can sell that data to make the price-to-the-user lower. (Don’t know for myself, my old Samsung monitor’s only smarts were to send data out to one URL, and I was able to change that URL to a site that doesn’t exist.)
Absolutely … smart thinking! Each brand is likely to have different ways to lobotomize it, might take a while to decide which is easiest/best return, then start stocking up.

There’s gotta be a market for taking cheap smart TVs, replacing the guts with dumb tv, and reselling it, right?
