TV software is getting loaded with ads, changing what it means to own a TV set.

    Try a Spectre t.v. they’re made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.

      Seems promising, but also seems to be an US thing. I should’ve mentioned I’m in the EU.

      They seem to be consumer grade, but dumb. Does someone here have one? How are the refresh rates? Can I play FPS games with at least 60hz on it?

        I have one. It’s 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.

          Awesome, then I’ll probably get one. Thank you!

            It’s also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol. Glad I could help, though.
