I have a basic monitor and Chromecast I use for my TV and it's only a matter of time until I'm forced to get a smart TV 😤 Google abandoning Chromecast is a new chapter in my villain origin story

yep, my Apple TV does the job 100000x better than any smart tv in the market, I just want a great quality screen haha wait, so you’re ditching your chrome cast? going back to dvds?

I might get a Roku TV stick or go back to the Amazon Fire Stick idek I probably won't do anything until this monitor finally dies (the screen glitches sometimes) or the Chromecast dies, whichever happens first

I'm still waiting on Nvidia to update their Shield Pro :( best TV console out there.

dont connect it to wifi and use only an apple tv

This is the best, if you can go that route! Tell your tv some incorrect WiFi details and remove the old ones

I hate modern tv software. All time worst.

💯

This thread reminded me that my TV is technically a smart TV… my Apple TV remote is set up to turn it on/off and control volume so I haven’t needed to touch the main remote or any of the normal “smart” features in 2 years

swear to god; i get so pissed at smart tvs. tried to create an open sourced “no BS” firmware for firesticks.
