The time has come for me to get a new TV. I've been dreading this because I keep hearing how shit modern smart TV's are with the ad situation.

Anyone got any recommendations? Even the best of the bad would be a step up from nothing.

I should also note: I'm not looking for any kind of complicated self hosted thing. This needs to be usable by your grandma. ๐Ÿ˜„

We love our sony. Samsung will be $100 cheaper but it's not worth it! Their user experience is TERRIBLE! If you need something quick and easy, grab a projector for ~$200. We used one for the first 3-4 months after moving because we didn't know where the TVs would go and it was easy to carry room to room while packing/unpacking. We had a TCL roku tv- not fancy but cheap and fine.

second vote for Sony! I've got an ~8 year old tcl roku myself. It's not too bad but I wish it had less ads on it.

Sony if you want a decently priced lcd, the android tv built in also allows for native smartube and vlc, lg if you want oled and plan to plug in a media stick.
