I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.

When you find a 70" QD-OLED panel without SmArT electronics attached, let me know.

How much more would you pay for this kind of tv?

Could be a good business

I wonder whether buying "smart" TVs, flashing "dumb" firmware onto them, and selling them at a slight markup would be a viable business model. I guess you'd be at high risk of being sued, even if it's entirely legal.

It's 5" smaller but:

I think I saw a 98" one tho too if you want bigger.

Samsung might have some options as well

Okay, that's kinda awesome. I assume it's the same panel that's in the LG G4.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I believe it is.

Maybe if I sell Orange Pis with something like Plasma Bigscreen on them set up and ready to go I'll make a website that also lists privacy friendly hardware alternatives with links, like these "dumb" TVs. Getting some ideas from these posts.
