My 13 year old TV is starting to kick the bucket and I ain't gonna get one of those smart TVs that's just gonna spy on me and age like milk.

Not really. You would need something to drive it.

You asked for dumb...

But for under 150 bucks you can have a raspberry pi gen 5 media box driving it that you can plug all the things into. Shit we drive our samsung tv with the pi 3b for a long time. Now it runs on a 4, repurposed the 3b to be an octoprint box.

$150 for a dongle seems a bit steep

A Raspberry Pi. Is not a dongle. It's a full fledged computer. On a single board, really small, easy to run and use. Designed originally as a cheap way to teach coding, it exploded massively. Now people have them doing all sorts of shit you don't need a whole real computer to run.

Yeah but thats all it would be used for.
