The simple trick to turn a “smart” TV into a regular one is too cut off its internet access.

I’ve never heard of that. Do you have a source on that? And how would it run like shit if you’re using something like a Chromecast?

Still uses the shitty ‘smart’ operating system to handle inputs and settings.

Mine still takes several seconds to boot android TV just so it can display the HDMI input, even if not connected to internet. It has to be always plugged on the power because if there is a power cut, it needs to boot android TV again.

My old dumb TV did that in a second without booting an entire OS. Next time I need a big screen, it will be a computer monitor.
