Hi there!

So I am looking to buy a new TV, but the latest smart-TVs all seem to be very bloated with ads and other ridiculous and unnecessary features. I know very little about TVs, and therefore wondering if anyone has any tips on some good TVs that include as little bloat as possible.

Thanks for any recommendations or tips!

I'm inherently skeptical that any kind of projector can match a modern OLED. What are your thoughts?

Depends on the projector. Good ones can get close, but of course not exactly as good as OLED. Haven't got much experience with UST-s; a Xiaomi one I have tested was OK, except for HDR content which had some problems. But the conventional JVC D-ILA ones are jaw-droppingly good, not too far off from OLED.

The ALR screen (which was admittedly a bit of a shock at $600 for the 134" we bought) makes a WORLD of difference, even with our cheap wall mount laser projector. Yes, OLED technically is better, but we can control lighting in our living room with blackout curtains, so we can't really tell. When we upgraded to the UST4K, we both said never again to TV's. Other bonus was if we need to move them around, much less risk of accidental damage as compared to a heavy TV panel.

Have you been to a movie theater lately?

Hard to use that as your standard, as those cost more than 5k.
