At a reasonable price Loewe make the best TVs that have the ‘good’ parts of smart, and none of the intrusive and privacy-invading parts. The interface is minimal, the sound and picture are amazing, and the units themselves look beautiful[1]
Bang&Olufsen do all the above, at an unreasonable price[2]
As far as I know only LG, Samsung, and a third I don't remember make panels. Everybody else just buys them and puts them into their TVs. Some manufacturers add additional image processing software but the panel is still "standard".
It’s hard to get B&O or Loewe in small sizes. I’d like a 32-42inch and this almost isn’t a thing.
For some reason I’d like it to be 4k but this doesn’t really make sense at that size.
