I bought a Westinghouse "non-smart" TV for my workshop, which is out of range for our wi-fi. I have an antennae for over-the-air TV and no internet back there, so I wanted something that just comes on and plays without having to go through menus and shit. 32" for $149 through Mal-Wart™. I have a TCL with Google TV in my den, but it has a bug where it won't stay connected to the wi-fi, and I'm cool with that...
Westinghouse not only still exists but also makes TVs? Mind blown.
yeah I was kinda surprised by the brand, but it was what they had available as non-smart. I won't brag about the quality, because when I first plugged it in, I was really disappointed by the sound quality. Tinny and not much volume. I figured out that the right speaker wasn't working, and instead of sending it back, I hooked my boombox I listen to music with up to it and it sounds great.
