Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.
TV software is getting loaded with ads, changing what it means to own a TV set.

I'm not looking forward to replacing my dumb tv when it finally dies.
Just don't connect it to the internet. I play everything from an HTPC, LG gots zero data from me.
Don't sweat it. Just get what's on sale.
They're all the same.
There's only one reason I'd opt for a high priced name brand. And that's the ability to apply filters to everything you're watching.
Imagine watching Ace Ventura but every character has the Chad Face filter on.
A few ideas to consider in this kind of situation:
If you watch broadcast TV, consider stopping. Is it really of any use? Could your time have better uses? Maybe you'll never need that ad stream.
If all you need is a display for console/computer/media box, get a display instead. No tuner, no networking, no ads.
They don't make 77" monitors
At that point, just get a projector. You can have whatever size you can fit and the picture is still decent as long as you're not in direct sunlight
Projectors can't compete with an OLED on picture quality. All of the good projectors run Android TV anyways...
