Get a Sceptre dumb TV. Oddly enough they're available online from Wal-Mart. We got a 55" one with really good picture quality and no smart features, it just dutifully shows whatever signal is on its HDMI connections. We expect it to last for years if not decades.


I second this opinion, but people should know that the lower cost does have tradeoffs:

They are a little more fragile than your typical TV - move them around with care.

The speakers are much much worse than average - you are going to want a soundbar.

The IR receiver is oddly placed, so you have to be a bit more exact when aiming the remote.
