Sceptre TVs. All dumb, affordable and are great in terms of panel. That’s my next brand now that my old LG Nanocell is already showing dead pixels.

They do sell smart TVs too, but that’s not what any of us is looking for.

I just got one of these last week for $150 new. The panel won’t be winning any awards for visual quality, nor will the speakers be lauded by audiophiles, but it perfectly serviceable and affordable.

Yeah. At the end of the day, for the price and the privacy, I’m totally willing to add a dumb soundbar to it as well 🤣

The Yamaha Audio SR-C20A seems like a good option.
