Ethernet cable for the win!

You can never convince me that wireless is better than a hardwired connection.
-
One of most ridiculous wireless things I've encounted was Logitecs Trackball. Like, it's a stationery mouse, specifically designed not need to be moved around.
And they don't make wired variants at all anymore.

I mean yeah because its objectively worse if you just care about performance and reliability.
-
Better for mobile applications, which I realize TVs are typically not but sometimes they can be mounted onto a cart or something.

this is fck'd

I just want a dumb TV that I can connect my Linux box to
-
All TVs sold at Costco are required be fully functioning without being connected to Wi-Fi.
-
That's a very interesting tidbit. Good to know, thanks for sharing!

I just bought a Sony BRAVIA 8 and it's close to this. Never connected to WiFi. It goes directly to my HTPC input and I never see the home screen unless I want to.

I feel like I'm the one guy in my friend-sphere that hasn't got a Smart-TV and such, at this point.
I have little use for anything particularly "smart" when it comes to tv's. Also my paranoia doesn't allow for anymore potential spyware ridden electronics in my home. So I'm pretty happy about that...

TV software is fucking abysmal. Its laggy, full of bloat and as you point out, their wifi capabilities are shit. I even have the connection/speed issue right now with one of my older TVs.

I remember when I bought an 40MB hard drive back in the day. (Yes, megabyte, not gigabyte) And I labeled it "WOWSOBIG", because it was huge for me. When I bought a 32" flat screen when those first released I thought that was big. Now even the TV in the bedroom is a 48" and that just the small secondary TV. One of my neighbors across the street has a TV as big as his wall, I can watch his TV from my window.
Funny how perspectives change over time.

I remember when we bought our first Windows PC in 1995 (We had had Tandy 1000 & a Commodore 64 before then) the sales guy told us, if you upgrade to the 1GB hard drive you'll never fill it up in 20 years.

Fuck commission based sales.

I remember being so happy my HD was big enough that I could have OG Fallouts "Humongous Installation" on it. About 700MB.
It was back when 1GB was seen as 1TB was a few years ago.
How time flies...

We played goldeneye in 4 Player splitcreen on a 13" TV back in the day. I don't even know how we did it, it was so small.
