Some Rokus and Apple TVs receive longer update windows, though.

    Why should a TV ever need updates? Does anyone still make good “dumb” TVs that don’t want/need an internet connection?

      Askin’ the real questions here… average answer i’ve seen is Buy a monitor instead.

      I wanted a dumb tv. I was so sick of looking, I just got a 27" gaming monitor with 2k resolution for $150.

      You can also get a 32" 4K monitor for like $500 but I didn’t really need that.

      I believe the search term you seek may be “commercial signage display”

        I do purchasing for a company that installs digital signage, yeah this is what you want.

        Look at the CDE series by Viewsonic or similar, we mostly order Viewsonics so they’re who I’ve seen.

      I’ve had updates fix issues with HDR and what not, but I do agree, and think dumb TVs so be more available

      I bought a 50" TCL 5 Series a few years ago on-sale and never connected it to internet. It does fine for my needs and doesn’t bother me about connection or apps at all.
