Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

A consumer returning to the market after years without a television is seeking hardware advice tailored specifically to user privacy. The target setup requires a 4K screen between 60 and 80 inches with at least a 60Hz refresh rate. Rather than relying on native smart TV software, the plan centers on connecting an Apple TV to handle all content delivery. Community feedback is being gathered to identify specific television models that excel at operating solely as passive external displays.

I haven’t owned a TV in years and would like one that respects my privacy. Are there any TV’s which do this well? I am looking for something in the 60”to 80”range and would like a 4k display with at least 60hz display. I don’t mind paying a premium.

I have heard good things about Apple TV as a better alternative to most smart TV native apps. Would some TV’s pair better with this than others for privacy? I don’t want the TV doing anything other than being the display for Apple TV.

I am curious what success others have had.
