Where possible, my criteria are:
- Minimal smart features, ideally not requiring an internet connection
- No tracking, or tracking that can be fully disabled
- Doesn't have to be the latest model
- Quality: I want it to have a long lifespan by TV standards
- Flexible on price, although I'd like fair value
