Any good debloated TVs? (lemmy.world)

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!

There is a "apps mode" on Google Chromecast with Google tv - that takes out all the recommendations and stuff and just shows you the apps, fwiw.

It still shows adverts on the homepage though.

Not if you install a custom launcher.

I’ve heard Sceptre TVs are non-Smart TVs.
