minus-squareCancerMancer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 hours agoDon’t give your TV wifi access, use a separate device to watch stuff (Chromecast, FireTV, Android box, etc…)
minus-squaresurph_ninja@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 hour agoWish it had more apps, but Apple TV is pretty solid. With the Steam link app, it’s also good for couch gaming on your pc.
minus-squareDarren@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 hour agoWe use Moonlight instead of Steam Link. It requires a little more setting up at the PC end, but overall seems to be a more smooth result.

minus-squarejacksilver@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·53 minutes agoYeah, that was my approach, but the forced ads are also on the roku stick :(
minus-squarescala@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·39 minutes agoTechnically you can get commercial TVs but many companies stopped selling them. They are literally the new screen tech with no “Smart” capabilities. They are also much cheaper than their smart counterparts.

minus-squareCatZoomies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·54 minutes agoJust a heads up that the Smart Cancer has already begun infecting PC monitors. Samsung makes Smart Monitors. It won’t be long before there are no longer Dumb Monitors.
minus-squareBristingr@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 minutes agoI must not be looking at the right thing. All I’m finding are expensive displays that have all this fancy scheduling, web surfing, etc. built into it.
