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.
Are there any decent TV Boxes out there? Nvidia shield is what I use now, but I had to switch to a 3rd party launcher to avoid recommendations. I have a feeling I may end up with a PC hooked up to my TV at some point in the future.
Maybe it is because I have a pihole but I never notice the recommendations. I remapped the Netflix button to plex and barley spend any time on the launcher
You can get an On box at Walmart for like $25 and it doesn't have ads. It has recommendations for services you have (ie watch this next on Netflix) but you can turn them off.

Well, you have one of my recommendations of a Shield with a 3rd party launcher lol. My other would be an Apple TV.
