The time has come for me to get a new TV. I've been dreading this because I keep hearing how shit modern smart TV's are with the ad situation.

Anyone got any recommendations? Even the best of the bad would be a step up from nothing.

I should also note: I'm not looking for any kind of complicated self hosted thing. This needs to be usable by your grandma. ๐Ÿ˜„

My TCL Roku was great, but updates made it work very poorly the last few years. Has gotten better recently though.

What I would do if I had 300 bucks to burn is buy an NVIDIA Shield to plug into the HDMI and basically turn the Roku into a monitor with the software being on the Shield. I'm told you can install the apps that let you watch YouTube without ads on it too.
