Comment on What tv to look for nowadays?

A non-4K TV in 2024? Good luck with that. Just take one, it doesn’t hurt when your content is lower res, but you can still benefit from it when you play videogames or watch 4K Blu-Rays. I would definitely take an OLED display. Check out www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/tvs-on-the-market
Good luck
Is this just based on availability of sub 4k res televisions? Im in the UK but a lot of shops that sell TVs still have plenty of 1080p and even a few “HD Ready” (720p). Granted its smaller televisions, once you get above mid 30s its 4k only available
I’m just assuming the OP is looking for a general advise on a new TV. If he’s actually looking for a 20 inch TV he is looking for such a niche device that he should probably have stated that.
But OP stated no real requirements at all which makes it nearly impossible to actually recommend something. What even is the TV used for? He wants a non-smart TV but but seems to be streaming? What about size? How is the room lit?

Agreed. There is zero benefit to eschewing 4k, and zero benefit to looking for a dumb TV; get a smart model and don’t connect it to the internet.

Some TVs require an internet connection and account creation before they will work.

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.

Yes. This is a total enshitification move. Who makes those TVs…do not buy those TVs.

Isn’t this completely illegal in most countries?
