Recommend a "dumb" TV for staffroom

[DrBeaker]

Hi,

 

Anyone got any recommendations for a TV? Been a while since I purchased one.

 

We need:

 

32" (due to space)

Full HD

Non-smart TV.

Decent built-in speakers

Option to connect to TV ariel in future

 

Will be connected to a PC via HDMI/VGA for content etc.

 

To be used for the staffroom, mounted on a stand.

 

However all I can see these days is "smart" TV's, I can't seem to find a "dumb" TV. Don't need any of the smart features, just something that will display content etc.

 

Thanks.

a tv you don't connect to the network is a dumb tv

To be honest I am not sure if you will find something without spending well over the odds to not have smart features. They are pretty useless when not connected up to wifi at least.

Will the PC connected be used as a PC or more to display things?

Text can be problematic to read on TV's if using it as an actual PC.

32" (due to space)

 

I use this Toshiba 32" TV at home as a PC screen:

It is a smart TV, but the smart features aren't used and we don't notice them.

 

You could, of course, use a monitor - I have this 32" QHD one in my office:

Someone at work has the 4K version:

The first two devices were bought 2018, so 4 years ago, and have been used daily since with no problems. The 4K screen was bought a few months ago and seems to be working very nicely so far.

Got one of these that we use with an Amazon firestick and the Screencloud app

They turn off on and on by hour and day individually, and you can set a weekly schedule so they turn off at weekends
