Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

    Is there actually any practical use for having a tuner built in still? I haven’t plugged a coax into one of those in like 15 years, it’s always to a set-top box first and then hdmi from that to the tv, and the only reason we have cable at all is because of my dad.

      Digital OTA is useful if you don’t want to pay for cable but you want to watch local sports or the news something. If you are in a large metro area, you can get a great picture and a surprising variety of channels.

          If you don’t have a set top box, i.e. no cable, no sattelite, then you would plug OTA directly into the TV and use the tuner there. I haven’t used a set-top box in like 15 years. It’s always been an HTPC, or an Intel Nuc or something like that.
