In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

If you buy "digital signage" or "commercial display" monitors, they won't have built-in ad-tracking; some models have a recent version of Android built-in that makes it easy to load Jellyfin, Kodi, and other such apps; and they'll be built to commercial specifications, meaning they'll last longer. They can also have better screencasting features.
On the downside: they are more expensive, you'll need to check their specs for things like bluetooth, wifi, HDMI, and other things you need; the built-in speakers are not good. The TV of course doesn't stop any particular app from serving you ads on its own, unless you load in another app to block them.
I have a setup like this, connected to a seedbox with transcoding, and it works great.
