Price Per Square Inch for TVs by size
-
-
-
Now filter by display technology.
-
Unless they're priced by if they have built in ads or not, it's useless.
-
Display technologies are a bit confusing, but this should give you a general idea:
-
I want a 3 axis chart of price, size, and number of ads in the UI.
-
Well, I stand by it.
-
And the type of HDR they support. I got lucky finding a philips a couple years ago that just supports all types so I don't have to worry about it.
-
I doubt this will hold up now that they're owned by Walmart, but I've gotten exactly zero ads on Vizio panels since I first bought one in 2017. I have two at the moment and they're both effectively dumb displays with no network access.
-
At least in the case of the Hisense TV I got for my grandparents, a "glitch" with accessibility controls (makes directional inputs unresponsive or multi-press at times) just so happens to make remapping the sponsored remote buttons impossible, as well as breaking the most common method of changing the system launcher, so screen size alone isn't everything.
Although Hisense still tries to reinstall sponsored apps after I delete them, using Launcher Manager to set a custom launcher that allows for the hiding of unwanted applications and channels made it much more usable for my grandparents.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to redirect YouTube voice input commands to SmartTube Next, so if I ever replace it, that'll be a factor in my decision too.

Outside sarcastic internet forums? Probably, yeah.
-
Righteous!

LG and Samsung have been caught uploading screenshots of your HDMI inputs too, so it's not like it's any better
-
As long as the TV doesn't have internet access, it can't do much with it
-
source? from what I can find this is not proven, only hypothesized with hdmi inputs specifically.
-
which you can opt out from.
-
You could also move the TV closer to the sofa.
-
How many square inches does that get me?
-
Most people do.
Mine's just old enough to not have ads but new enough to have apps for plex and other services I use. Next one is going to be disconnected and have some flashable Android box connected to it. Or even just Apple TV as that's still better than most native UIs.
