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?

If you're buying new just go for 4k, you don't have to use it, but it's nice to have for in the future or any gaming you might do soon. I've noticed that new it's cheaper to buy 4k with hdr than 1080p without. I saw a Sharp tv with 4k hdr10 for 299€. If you really want 1080p any thrift shop will have some tv stacked in a corner, just look up the model number and you'll see most of them that don't have giant bezels are 1080p50, which fits your needs. Older tvs dont require internet for alot of features, or they won't work with internet anyway, so you won't miss much. Good luck in your search!
