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. 😄

      That’d be fine also, you can just create an iTunes account wherever, you just won’t get the interconnectivity of the Apple ecosystem (AirPlay, AirDrop, handover etc.).

      If you’re in the Android ecosystem a Google TV might be a better option, as it’d allow you to Cast media from your phone.

      Either option is honestly fine, and significantly better than the slow, spyware-riddled garbage that gets packaged with the TVs themselves!
