It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

Since it can't be LG anymore - what's a good TV screen for gaming?

The panels all come from two producers (really just one for the very good ones). So, pick whoever you can get the best deal on for your needed featureset and never connect it to the internet.

Also enable Game Mode which typically turns off some of the smart TV functions.

I disagree that it can't be LG anymore since it's still a basic TV so long as you don't connect it to the internet. Use the TV as a TV and use an Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, etc to do your internet stuff.

I called a terrible IT person for suggesting not connecting smart TVs to the network as a simple means of by passing the issue with their updates and invasion of privacy. I think it'd be easier to do that and hook up an old computer for streaming from.

Its looking like our future will be buying dumb industrial display panels and running a RaspberryPi as your streaming service device

Wasn't LG one of the last good ones left?

LG, Samsung are still fine, you just don't connect them to the internet and use an android tv instead
