That leaves no TVs. I can't really think of any TVs that are ad-free, or are guaranteed to be ad free in future.

I can see an LG IPS display, 98 inch for sub 10k AUD including shipping (98UM5J-B). Phillips, LG, Samsung and others offer commercial panels without the rubbish that consumer panels are infected with these days. permalink fedilink source parent [–] btsax@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago Not OP but I bought a 45" LG UltraGear gaming "monitor" a while back that's basically just a TV, no smart anything etc. Right now the only ones I see after a quick search are curved though, mine is flat. permalink fedilink source parent
