A friend is looking for one and I don’t know what to recommend.
Assuming that the goal is to never connect it to the internet and plug in another device with HDMI.
If you’re going to utilize the interface for apps then LG or Samsung, if not, then it doesn’t matter much, try and get the equivalent panel if you can afford it in one of the brands that uses LG and Samsung panels. The biggest difference going with big brands is upscaling performance and menu smoothness.
What’s the goal of the tv? Budget?
Want the best quality picture? Want the highest refresh rate for gaming? Anything beyond just displaying a moving picture?

I’ve only bought cheap TVs, because that’s what was available to me.
A year or so ago I got a big Samsung at an estate auction. It’s older than all my other TVs, but much better than all of them.
There may be higher quality or better value brands, but I can confirm that Samsung makes a nice TV.

If it’s going to be a glorified display then simply get a non-smart tv designed for marketing.
