Hi there!

So I am looking to buy a new TV, but the latest smart-TVs all seem to be very bloated with ads and other ridiculous and unnecessary features. I know very little about TVs, and therefore wondering if anyone has any tips on some good TVs that include as little bloat as possible.

Thanks for any recommendations or tips!

Considering how much it costs, that sucks. You might be able to replace the launcher, I did that with the built in Google TV interface on my Sony TV for a while. The only problem is that it wasn't reliable and somehow ran slower, even though it had no ads.

The Apple TV has ads in the TV app, but I never use it since so many services don't integrate with it. I also just don't find the concept that useful. I don't need all my services available in one app. I'm fine with just having a grid of apps I jump between.
