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. 😄

    I’d also recommend checking out RTINGS. They have a pretty comprehensive testing methodology that they apply to all models they review, and they also pay for all review models themselves to avoid any potential conflict of interest. They score on a 100 point scale for lots of different things (brightness, black level, colour, suitability for gaming, suitability for sport, etc) so if there are specific things you’re interested in you can quickly compare different models and get a good idea of their relative strengths and weaknesses.
