Same with TVs. I just want a decent dumb TV with HDMI inputs. But it is basically impossible to find a new non-smart TV.

I am theoretically OK with smart TVs because there is a real advantage to fancy upscaling/interpolating/tonemapping ASICs like they ship with now. The HDMI link limits you in some respects, and the downstream devices just dont have that kind of horsepower (or have extreme difficulty displaying legal HDR content, in the case of PCs).

The awful UIs and spam though... Yeah, make it dumber please.
