Can agree. My $1800 TV has the slowest interface ever and only 8GB of storage space, most of it being taken up by the OS. It’s laggy as hell and a major pain in the ass to navigate cause of it. It’s like using a $50 Android phone that keeps closing the app you’re using cause it has 512MB of RAM.
I miss dumb TVs. All I want is a screen that I can plug smart stuff into. I use an AppleTV, which is navigates around really smooth and fast. I have two of them. The one I use most is fairly old and still works better than any smart TV I’ve ever had.
The issue with those is they generally don’t have speakers. Fine if you’re already planning on another solution, but I like having the option to use built in speakers for basic stuff.

Look into “digital signage” panels.
Not cheap, but they are basically a 49"+ computer monitor that is rated for 24/7 usage.

Valid point, didn’t think of that.
