Im wondering what kind of tv to look for?
IMO 4k is useless because the network where I live is bad and 1080p is good enough. I don’t think smart tv functionality is a thing to look for, more like a « what not to look for » criteria.
What other criterions should be taken?
Some TVs require an internet connection and account creation before they will work.
Which? Gotta avoid them like the plague
Yes. This is a total enshitification move. Who makes those TVs…do not buy those TVs.
I can recommend Vizio since it does not require you to connect the internet to use it. However, if you want bluetooth enabled it requires the internet. Otherwise it works great. I use it as a desktop monitor.
Warning, do NOT connect Vizio to the internet. They were busted for sending images of all content you watched to their servers, so they could profile you and sell that data. Who knows what else they’ll get up to in a secret update down the road.
Wow what the actual fuck. Well, they’re on my denylist for eternity.
I’ve never heard that; which ones?
Isn’t this completely illegal in most countries?
