The left part of the screen of my parent’s Samsung TV have seriously blackened recently, so they are thinking of buying a new TV. We probably bought this like 6 years ago maybe, but I absolutely do NOT want to buy a Samsung again (6 years is just planned obsolescence reliability + their OS didn’t let me remove the bloatware in any way or shape of form)

Which brand has been the most reliable for you, and also have you been able to remove the bloatware from your TV via dev mode or with a different method?

    Not sure it’s what you’re looking for but we use a computer screen to watch stuff

    While I agree, options for very large computer monitors are quite limited. If you’re using a large room, you’re going to have a hard time finding a computer monitor that’s as large as television displays.

    You can use a projector, but that has its own set of drawbacks, like fan noise and limited brightness and contrast, which one typically mitigates by keeping the room darker. Those may or may not matter to you. Flip side is that you can enjoy a very large display area with a projector, if you want.
