Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

    LG C1 is “smart”, but satisfies your other criteria. It has been replaced with newer models, but I imagine the user experience must be similar.

    I haven’t even seen it’s smart functions the whole time I’ve had it. I press a button on the Apple TV remote and a few seconds later the TV is displaying the Apple TV menu (connected via HDMI through a receiver). No menus to navigate and no ads that I’ve ever seen, though the first thing I did when I got it was disable all the “suggestions”.

      Mostly this. You pay the lack of features in either image quality or price, so it’s probably not worth it. I have Samsung and LG OLEDs, and they mostly do the thing just fine, particularly if you have a single HDMI plugged in. I’ll say I wouldn’t use those OLEDs as monitors, if that’s the idea, because there are other issues with doing that, but for a console or a single input device they’re perfectly fine.
