I’m in the market for a TV and I already use a HTPC as the main device. I am curious about the Sceptre TVs.

How is the image quality? Any input lag?

    They’re shit, why not just get a “Smart” TV and just not connect it to the Internet? Just avoid the Roku integrated ones

    If you want to be extra sure it never connects to the Internet, just pop off the back panel (it’s a lot easier than you think, I’m always inside TVs) and remove the WiFi daughter board (it’s almost always on a daughter board)

      Is there any reason to never connect a TV to the internet? I got a new TV and didn’t bother connecting it for any updates, but eventually I was having some remote issues that resolved after updating the TV.

        The terms of service for a Samsung TV says they will take screenshots of your TV and send it to themselves. That’s just one example.

        What if you use it as a monitor? It’s a terrible invasion of privacy. It should be illegal.

        Some people don’t like all of the bloatware and everything else that comes with a “smart” tv, especially people who want to use it as a large HDMI out

          Right, I just use it as a display for my streaming device. I’m just wondering if there’s any harm in connecting to the internet, updating firmware, then disconnecting.

            Not that I know.

            But I could provide a definitely wrong answer do someone could step in and answer correctly.

            So…
