I got a very cheap 4k Spectre tv from Walmart. I specifically wanted a “dumb” tv because I have an Xbox and I don’t need overly complicated, slow, janky interface. It has this funny issue when I put my router behind it where the volume goes up and down by itself. I moved the router and the issue is gone.
I have been surprised by it. It was so cheap I thought it couldn’t possibly be decent, but I barely watch tv so it was whatever.
4k video is absolutely beautiful on there. I half expected or to be lying on the box.
I don’t see the point in smart tvs (at least for me).

Right?! Paying more for a smart TV when you can just get a PS4 or something for cheap and use it for any app you could possibly want on your smart TV is just so much cheaper.
My girlfriend and I have been living together for 3+ years and her father keeps recommending that we set up our TV to watch Netflix on it directly for convenience. Dude, our PS5 is basically running all day anyway. Why would I want to go through the hassle of connecting my TV to our WiFi and then mess around with a shitty remote to search for stuff I want to watch on YouTube or Netflix? Not worth it for me at all. Not everything needs to be a smart device.
Saw your edit, just a reminder for people to be careful with cheap Android TV boxes off Amazon/AliExpress etc. Lots of them are malware-ladden: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/18/popular-android-tv-boxes-sold-on-amazon-are-laced-with-malware/
