I have an old Toshiba LCD TV which is a bit thick in comparison to today's devices but it's so good and robust. Also no smart features what so ever. Comes with a bunch of inputs and has some features not found on modern devices. It also came with full schematic should it ever need servicing. Every now and then I'll get the urge of getting oh so new and shiny OLED then remind myself about builtin expiration date and stupid "smart" features.
