    I have three TVs:

    1. 55" Samsung curved screen, in the basement, mounted on the wall up high for the kids, not connected to any network, with a Roku stick attached (I’m already looking for a decent Roku replacement). It shows a picture and makes sound based on the devices connected to it, has CEC so the Roku can control it, and that’s all it needs to do.
    2. 65" LG in the master bedroom, rooted (because fuck walled gardens), connected to the network but also heavily limited by my Pi-hole setup. Has an Apple TV that we use 99% of the time.
    3. 42" Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U from 2007 on the main floor. Not smart in any way, shape, or form. Shows a picture and makes sound. That’s it.
