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.

    My Samsung boots fast, goes straight to whatever input I left it on, and doesn’t have smart functions because I don’t have it on the network and never accepted the license for them. I update the software occasionally and then disconnect it again.

    It’s older though. I’d try and see if you can play with one somewhere and if they’ll let you reset it to factory.

      Why even update the software? If it works don’t fix it

        It does device recognition and updates have improved that, but really there’s no need.

      I have a Samsung and a Vizio and the Samsung hands down is the best for ignoring the smart features.

      Samsung bought in 2022 and Vizio in 2021
