We were considering replacing our old Samsung with a newer one. The "old one" is from the pre-AI era. Now it looks like the old one will stay for a while...

You can get slop-free ones by purchasing "commercial monitors"

Too rich for my blood. I use a 40" for my PC monitor and a 55" on the wall for streaming pirated movies and shows.

What's weird is that my second TV works as a second monitor with while showing no internet. It's certainly not a listed DHCP lease. WTH?!

Some kind of ad-hoc connection? Bluetooth or .. Miracast or .. there's a few others

Turns out it was plugged directly into my NUC because I'm an idiot. 🤷🏼
