    Am I missing something here? Why in the hell would I try to jam this into a TV, something that’s not trivial btw and more than likely not compatible vs just not connecting the blasted thing to the network? Do they come with cellular data you can’t turn off or something?

      Because some people don’t like the bloated ‘smart’ operating systems on their tvs or how they operate. I.e. input lag when pushing buttons, showing ads or other stupid bullshit. Tbh I’d rather have a large stupid lcd panel that just turns on and shows whatever I plug into it via hdmi.

      The only alternative to replacing the board are commercial displays, but those are very expensive.
