Question dumb monitor

[odehart]

is there a dumb monitor around? i have a 43" samsung smart monitor [which is smarter than i am]. it gives me fits. it currently refuses to recognize the pc. samsung was no help. the pc onboard hdmi failed so i had an hdmi card installed friday. all was well until i had to power down the pc. the samsung now refuses to believe a working powered on pc is connected. i powered down to install a sound card [the onboard failed - maybe i just need a new mobo tho this one is only 11 months old]. i cannot conceive of how that [sound card] could effect the hdmi. anyway since i never use any of the smart features i think a really dumb monitor is what i want. i did see some posts about how one might lobotomize a smart monitor but it looked pretty complicated. so, in brief after a long monolog, is it possible to get a 43" dumb monitor? i didn't find any with a brief search. i have some vision problems.
