I love my pihole...
I never experience any of this..
I'm not an advocate for smart TVs, but my experience has been different. I found a deal for an 86 inch LG, and it's been nothing but smooth for me. No advertising built into the os, always has the apps I use right on the bar. The air mouse onnthe remote is reminiscent of owning a wii.
My tv is pretty snappy tbh
Some 2018 samsung q70r
But eh
Id prefer a non smart tv, but.. they tend to be shitty in terms of image quality etc
My next tv is going to be a computer monitor. I have a reciever box, Chromecast and a raspberry pi connected to a Nas. Don't need anything from the screen except display.
Alls I can say is that when the “smart” tv has “run out of memory” so it intermittently cuts out when I’m trying to beat Ridley in Super Metroid, it’s time for a lobotomy.
I saw in the discussion on this toot that you can buy "commercial" televisions which are typically used for like menus signs for business etc that aren't smart TVs and actually are probably slightly more durable. I'm generally planning to try and go that route on my next TV
I work for a touch screen company that makes these “large format displays”. The main reason you might not want to do this is that they are designed to prioritize longevity and functional delivery of information over image quality and usability. They’re not good for games or making movies look good. They work, and will be more durable, but a consumer tv will look better and have more options for changing the image. Also if you play video games the latency isn’t great.
