What local IoT features are you referring to?

>I would buy a dumb TV in a heartbeat, next time I upgrade. If there's one available.

There are none that I could find when I bought my TV some months ago. I hope that eventually some anonymous heroes start flashing open source OSs to their smart TVs and make us owners of our hardware again.

One such feature is the ability to play from local network storage. Possibly also ambient lighting control.

I guess if we were talking about possible features rather than actual one's: the ability to use the tv's tuner to stream to other devices would be another intranet feature that could be on someone's wishlist.

I agree the equivalent of cyongenmod/LineageOS for smart tv's would be great.

That would be nice... all the TVs with nicer displays seem to have the integrated internet crap.
They exist, in 4K too! I bought mine through Amazon.
