What tv to look for nowadays? (programming.dev)

Im wondering what kind of tv to look for?

IMO 4k is useless because the network where I live is bad and 1080p is good enough. I don’t think smart tv functionality is a thing to look for, more like a « what not to look for » criteria.

What other criterions should be taken?

I'm happy with my Samsung S90C (oled). I didn't find any non-smart-tv options that I liked after my 18 year old Samsung TV died, and after using a PC monitor and PC speakers for a few weeks while researching options, I settled on this one, which was on my shortlist and on sale at a nearby bricks'n'mortar store.

Even in a well lit room, I'm very happy with it. I also use the apps to stream content, so one less box is needed. Let's hope it lasts 18+ years too.
