There are lots of things you need to know before buying a smart TV & the OS on your smart TV will define its interface and software capabilities

Or you get a set top box and don’t worry about the trash software that comes with the tv.

I really like my newish sony tv that has a basic mode. Disables all the smart BS so it functions just as a screen. I use an Apple TV or ps5 for all content.

Fiercely agree. I have Samsung “smart” TV that I use as a dumb screen for my Apple TV and PS5.

Samsung’s software manages to bug out even without using it. The TV remote would randomly disconnect, screen would respring, randomly adjust contrast etc. It’s like “the printer of TVs”.

Couldn’t agree more with this. I just use a Roku set top box with all my TVs and never even connect the TVs to the internet.

That’s like asking ‘what’s the best nut to get kicked in?’

NEC makes some TVs where you can slot in a pi as the host OS, so i’d say that’s probably the best “smart” TV as it has an OS of your choosing.

I still just want a nice dumb tv with the latest panel tech. Or a nice CRT in good condition for retro gaming.
