Don’t buy Hisense, y’all. Best dumb tubes are Sony & LG.

FFS, don't buy LG!

Strong evidence of spyware in that they record the room's audio and send it to their servers.

    That’s why people are blindly downvoting me. My comment was about build quality.

    Rereading:

    Don’t buy any smart TV, from anyone. Get a dumb screen, buy used if you have to. Go online and find instructions for disabling/destroying the mic and camera if you already have one.
