Crap.

So which brand should be my next TV with a comparable display panel?

    Sceptre is really the only brand I'm aware of making dumb TVs still.

    I don't want a dumb TV, just a TV that doesn't spy on me. Maybe those are antonyms these days.

    Do Sceptre make large-inch OLEDs of similar quality to LG's? Or similar technology?

    if you want a smart tv, you actually want an nvidia shield/linux pc/apple tv connected over HDMI.

    getting your content from the crackerjack cpu included in the surveillance system of your tv will always be a compromised experience.

    I can't speak to tbe "quality" because I dont buy any TV that connects to the internet, I only know my sceptre looks good enough for watching TV and movies.

    Is it an OLED? Resolution? Diagonal size in inches? Model? You got recommendations? 🙂

    Do you use it with a media server? If so, how do you connect it to the server?

    50" 4K UHD TV

    3840 x 2160 Ultra HD Resolution
MEMC 120
HDMI 2.0
ARC & CEC
Edgeless Design

    Looks to be LED with HDR. They have other sizes and other models. I am unsure of what model I have.

    I use it with Jellyfin via a LineageOS TV box. LineageOS only supports a small subsect of TV boxes so its probably easier to go with a mini PC with a USB air remote + something like KDE Plasma Big screen or Steam Big Picture mode.

    I use the wade device for LOS, but they also support a dynalink box, the sabrina model google Chromecast, a few NVIDIA shields, the Nintendo Switch, and a couple radexa devices. Theres also an unofficial image for raspberry pis.

    I looked into this last year when my TV broke.

    I didn’t care a great deal about picture quality so you may want to look into that part, but I ended up buying a (I think 4k?) Sony Bravia. It’s a “Google tv” but it allows you to set it up as a regular TV instead and never connect it to the internet.

    The HDMI CEC has bug and it doesn’t always work, but it’s not reason enough for me to connect it to the internet to update it. Otherwise it works fine.
