What brand of TV to you recommend that still sticks to the 'old ways'?
My neither of my smart tv’s has never been given the WiFi password. After a week or so they quit asking and defaulted back to being of with on/off, volume change, input source change as the only actions it’s ever asked to do
My engineer had me buy 43" TVs instead of monitors for the lab. I bought Samsungs and they're just annoying. With only one thing plugged into them and no internet connection at all, they still require you to select "PC" to see anything.
I mean, yeah, they were less than half the price of 43" Dells, but still.
Are they using VGA? I use a Samsung TV for a monitor and don’t have to do this, but I’m using HDMI.
Nope, HDMI.
What's even more fun is I'm 1300 miles from the office working on a site. I forgot to ship the remote. So every day I plug in the laptop, rouse it from sleep, and then have a fun little adventure getting the TV to act as a second monitor using the single hidden little button under the logo.
This TV definitely qualifies for /c/assholedesign.
I'd have returned those TV's and bought different ones. The only thing those basterds understand is lost revenue.
