Question Is there a 4K 32 inch TV that is not a smart TV piled with apps and nonsense?

[a_nameless_man]

I am looking to replace my television. My current TV is an old 27 inch Flowscan 1080p unit. The color has never been right from day one and it can't be adjusted to look right to me. I don't want any apps or nonsense. I turn it on, select the source I want to view my media from, and we're off. I'm ready to replace it. I would like a basic non-smart name brand television without all the apps, two way coms, and other nonsense. I have a ras-pi media center. I'd rather deal with that, than all the useless apps and updates causing issues. I hear so many horror stories from people around me about their TV having these issues after only having it for one or two years. A few of my more tech savvy friends are using other options for viewing their TV content. I just don't care enough to go all out with high dollar gear like they have.

Sure, they are called commercial monitors with a TV tuner. Commercial TVs are also suitable for digital signage like restaurant menus so last longer when continuously operated at high brightness, but this heavier-duty construction and lack of apps (many app companies pay the TV manufacturer to include their apps) means they cost more.

Consumer TVs operate on the smartphone model where a couple years down the road, when the hardware is considered obsolete and the latest versions of apps will no longer work on them, they become e-waste. On the bright side, they are so cheap that no one would consider getting them repaired.

Thanks. That is an option I had not considered.

Are you getting your TV signal over the air, or via a cable box?
Go to rtings.com for reviews of 32" 4k monitors that have multiple hdmi inputs
Connect your cable box or other source to the Monitor.

I just never give the tv the wifi password. Now it's not smart!!

Simple enough

Digital cable box via HDMI, and thanks.
