Just had my old dumb LG TV die after 9 years of working just dandy. I lack the desire to root around for a dead capacitor so I am currently in the market for an approximate replacement to act as the display for my Linux media center in my living room. I figure this is the right crowd for finding a non-invasive TV so my Linux machine can be the brains. I trust modern Tvs less and less.
Desired features
55"
Non terrible audio
As dumb of hardware/software as reasonably achievable

IF you have the space, go for a projector. I got a nice short throw 1080 Benq with a decent 120 inch screen. And wow, it’s incredible. It’s amazing for shows, movies, and games. I paid 800 total for everything. There’s everything from 200 dollar to 5k dollars, depending on what quality you want.
Buy a nice TV
Give it a static IP
Firewall it off from the internet
Voila!
Edit: Make sure it cant call UPNP on your router or any such tomfoolery
I’d search an used and old one if i was you
