Hi there!

So I am looking to buy a new TV, but the latest smart-TVs all seem to be very bloated with ads and other ridiculous and unnecessary features. I know very little about TVs, and therefore wondering if anyone has any tips on some good TVs that include as little bloat as possible.

Thanks for any recommendations or tips!

Walmart sells a brand called Sceptre that I’ve been using for years now. Cheap dumb TV and use a Chromecast for all my streaming needs, works like a charm. And, I can always plug a real computer into it if I need it to be “smart”

Yup, bought an 80in one and it’s pretty decent. Little cheaper than smart TVs of the same size and I run everything off a PC hooked up to it.

Bear in mind that the audio in those TVs is garbage. Pair it with a nice sound bar.

To be fair, the audio in 99% of TVs is garbage.
