I recently went down the rabbit hole to find a dumb TV. It was surprisingly difficult. I ended up with a Sceptre 65 inch TV, to which I’ve plugged in a rooted, jailbroken Chromecast.

It’s been awesome. The TV is fast to boot up, responsive, doesn’t spy on me, and doesn’t need useless software updates.

What's the benefit of rooting and jailbreaking a Chromecast? You can already cast anything you want to them, so I'm assuming there must be added functionality.
