Got the 55" OLED LG.

It's incredible.  Makes my old Samsung look like a '70s RCA by comparison.

Best Buy is awful but their Black Friday deals are great.

Anyone out there able to simplify it for me? Also would love to find a big screen high quality picture TV that isn't also a smart TV. We've got a firestick and I have no interest in connecting my TV to the internet, but it seems that tech is in all of them these days.

Smart TVs show ads, so they're a revenue stream that's here to stay. If you can afford an OLED screen, you'll get amazing picture quality. I don't know how available they are in 1080p TVs, but there's still not a lot of 4k content. Comcast is capping bandwidth at 1 terabyte a month next year, so those of us using them won't have the bandwidth for 4k streaming very often. Even with video games that have quality and performance modes, there's still not that many of them and you might want the framerate from performance mode anyway.

The man. The myth. The legend.

We have all smart TVs and one of them is on a firestick. It works just fine on the stick without using the smart options.

I did learn that some streaming services are exclusive to brands. Like I can't get HBO Max on our living room TV bc it's an LG. But the others are all Samsung and they have it.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

None of what they make is made to last anymore.  Do you have a relationship with an appliance repair shop?  (If not, you should.)  Ask their opinion.
