Looking for a 4k tv without smart functions (feddit.de)

Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

Isn't that basically just a monitor?

    While I get what you're saying, there are some differences between TVs and monitors that may be relevant to OP.

    TVs have tuners built into them, if they need to receive overt the air or cable signals.

    TVs have remote controls where monitors typically don't.

    Large TVs are hella cheap compared to monitors of the same size.

    Can you actually get TV-sized monitors?

    All day. Above 24" they all get pretty gaming focused, and i will say the fast response time and framerates are incredible if you game. These tv sized ones are a bit rediculous though

    Is there actually any practical use for having a tuner built in still? I haven't plugged a coax into one of those in like 15 years, it's always to a set-top box first and then hdmi from that to the tv, and the only reason we have cable at all is because of my dad.

    Digital OTA is useful if you don't want to pay for cable but you want to watch local sports or the news something. If you are in a large metro area, you can get a great picture and a surprising variety of channels.

    Well yes, but finding a monitor that is as large as a TV, doesn't have smart functionality and isn't prohibitively expensive is hard enough.
    I'd just buy a smart TV, don't give it internet access and connect an HTPC.

    Going a step further and physically removing or disabling the Wi-Fi radio is necessary in some. My tv refused to cease attempting to connect to every guest network nearby, even with Wi-Fi off. Thanks, but I’m fine without ads on my home screen, friend.
