My TV's getting on a decade old. It's getting bad burn in around the corners. It's time is coming, and I'm prepared to replace it. In an ideal world I'd get a 4K HDR TV with OLED. Is it possible to get a high quality TV that doesn't have smart features? They're completely redundant for me so I'd hope that I could save money that way.
Making a TV a smart TV costs companies next to nothing as its just cheap software. Your best bet is to check out brands like Westinghouse or Element. But I will warn you that you aren't guaranteed to get years and years out of those TVs as the panels often go bad. You've got to remember that you get what you pay for, and for someone like yourself who keeps products as long as possible, you should buy something with good craftsmanship. Just don't buy a Vizio, ive had terrible experiences with those American pieces of crap.
