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?

      I don’t think it has any apps by default, or if it did I removed them. I just plugged in an Android TV and that seems to be working just fine.

      But the TV itself isn’t connected to the Internet and it doesn’t bug me to connect and the default is just a nice background image without pestering me.
