I'm mostly sailing the high seas, using the tv as a giant monitor for the always-on laptop connected to it. I'm afraid of the 1984-esque "You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV" that might come after some time.

I also bought a Sceptre "dumb TV" within the last year or so and highly recommend it. I had been recommending it over and over, but recently I found that the model I bought was no longer offered. I hope Sceptre didn't abandon them.

    TVs don't seem to be a core business for them, I get the impression that they are a monitor focused business. Of course it's not hard to upgrade a monitor to a TV so why not?

    They do list all their products on their website so maybe check there?

    Sceptre was more of a TV company in the past, but over the last decade or so have definitely moved more into the monitor business. I have actually owned 5 different Sceptre TVs over the last 20 years, but back in the day it was because they were some of the least expensive LCD televisions on the market.

    TIL. I first encountered Sceptre during lockdown when I needed better monitors than I was sent home with. I've been impressed and have bought two more since then for other devices. And about two years ago I bought one of their dumb TVs, and it's worked flawlessly.
