Hi, does anyone own a non smart tv which is 4k and around 48"? I'm currently own a Samsung TV but to use any of the apple TV or game consoles you have to go through their painfully unresponsive smart menus and its driving me up the wall. ive looked online but it's hard to avoid smart TVs, they seem to be everywhere and a lot of options I came across are US only. the budget is upto £400, thanks in advance

I've never used apple TV (because fuck apple) but I have a Philips Ambilight, and there's no issue with games consoles. Plug in an hdmi and select the source. Not sure why you'd be having so much trouble, as any smart TV I've used is the same. It's one button.

Yeah I have a Philips and was very happy that during the set-up process it let me say that I didn't want to use smart features or connect it to the internet, so I just have it connected to a console. Definitely can recommend Phillips.
