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!
Get one with a good panel and ignore the “Smart” part. Better use something like a Fire TV Stick.
Firesticks are also full of ads and tracking. It’d be more ideal to use something like a Raspberry Pi or building an Android TV box instead as a media client.
I can recommend the Apple TV. Even the android TV ones have ads now (looking at you shield tv!).
I more meant along the lines of building an HTPC then putting Android on it, so that wouldn’t have ads. But yeah an Apple TV is definitely an easier plug-and-play solution. I am more of a DIY type of person.
This is the answer, dongle love all the way!
