Projectors - great.

Scepter brand tv - Walmart -not greatest quality, but at least it’s dumb.

did you mean Spectre? are they a walmart brand now? They were one of the first producers of retail LCD screens that consumers in the US could buy. I had two of them, and they were quite good compared to other offerings back then. This is the same era as 802.11b dongles. I even had one in my SUV to replace a 14" CRT that finally had enough of driving on california freeway overpasses, large amounts of magnetism would wobble the entire display on the crt.

I recently bought a 1080p spectre for my youngest kid, wall mounted it, put an indoor antenna on it and a raspberry Pi running openElec with a wifi dongle.

as far as i can tell, it's a "dumb" tv.

Yes, I meant Sceptre. I mentioned Walmart because that's the place I know of where you can buy them, I don't think Walmart owns them. Yes it's a dumb TV. But I don't think the screen quality is considered very good.

D'oh. Misread and thought you were correcting the last two letters. Sceptre, not Spectre. https://www.sceptre.com/
