Why can't we have dumb screens that I can plug my Amazon stick or whatever into. My girlfriend's TV actually crashes and randomly resets. Presumably because they cram a load of functionality in, and don't test (not so) edge cases. Just give me a dumb screen, if I want $fancy new streaming app I can just buy a single or whatever, if the dongle breaks, I replace just that.

Buy a computer monitor. Sadly, that only works up to a certain size, and price will not be your friend.

Alternatively, a projector and quality screen.

Alternatively, order a Sceptre dumb TV from Wal-Mart's web site.
