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. 😄
My TCL Roku was great, but updates made it work very poorly the last few years. Has gotten better recently though.
What I would do if I had 300 bucks to burn is buy an NVIDIA Shield to plug into the HDMI and basically turn the Roku into a monitor with the software being on the Shield. I’m told you can install the apps that let you watch YouTube without ads on it too.
That’s good to know. That might be more setup than I want, but I’ll keep it in mind. I also have an old tcl and I’ve had the same issues with updates. 🫤
