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!
Plug a computer into it. There are little machines that you can hide behind the TV, if that’s what you want. Not only will you not get ads, but you also won’t get ads with stuff like YouTube if you use an ad blocker.
Buy a projector instead. Most don’t have any of the “smart” spyware that TVs do yet. Plus you get like a 4x bigger screen for for half the price
Pretty hard to come by, imo just disconnect the TV from internet entirely and don’t use its garbage smart TV functions.
I think lg was quite good. It’s full of ads but if you don’t sign in you don’t get them. Lose some functionality but it’s not terrible. Not sure about anything else
A few years ago I got a Sceptre UTV 55" U558CV-UMC on Amazon. It was about $250 and has been pretty good! Probably out of stock now but there may be a similar one available.
