I've recently gotten a Philips 558M1RY, after not wanting to get a Smart TV because of UI and privacy issues. It is marketed as a "Console Monitor." I was going to attach a PC to it anyway, as I don't have traditional cable or an aerial. I gotta say it's a bit pricey for its size, though being 4K and HDR, it is not that bad. And I'm not limited to whatever clunky, ad-riddled UI the vendor chose, but can choose my own clunky UI for watching Netflix, etc.
If only HDR support on the PC side wasn't so terrible, it'd be a fantastic setup :/
I've never seen a Philips TV with ads. Is this a US thing?
I have a Philips and it is fantastic. No ads, no microphone, simple UI, full keyboard on the back of the remote, and it links natively with my room lighting and matches the colors of the room to the TV (if desired), and it cost less than other comparative models.
It's been going strong for about 4 years now with no issues, including the UI.
