I'm planning to get a new TV because we've decided we want a bigger screen (current 32") and better resolution etc, such as 4k and maybe UHD. But... we don't want to be served ads by our television on top of the ads that already come from the tv companies, we don't want a camera or microphone, or any of that privacy invasion nonsense. No Google, no Amazon, no Alexa or other assistants. We do want to watch Netflix and Prime, but don't need to browse the web on a TV set. So we need basic 'smart' TV functionality, but ideally from a manufacturer committed to respecting privacy and not selling data.
From searching around, it's looking tricky!
I'm looking to spend less than £1,000 and probably looking at the 43" sort of size, though could go bigger, and maybe smaller. If necessary we could get an Apple TV box to supply the Netflix and Amazon Prime services. We currently get those through our ageing Samsung TV, and other channels through a Sky box.
Happy to receive specific recommendations or simply general advice - such as "avoid this brand" or "check out this brand". Thanks for any advice or recommendations the community here can give.
