Walmart Online is selling a Spectre dumb panel (with good specs!) for $219 for 55” and $279 for 65”. Otherwise I love my LG OLED, which acts as a dumb panel until you accept the overbearing privacy policy (you can still play local DLNA/USB sources without accepting, but can’t run any apps including web browsers so no captive portals)

The brand name is actually Sceptre, for those who are searching for it.

my 55 came in. it's seriously a panel. there are better panels out there (love my LG OLED), but you can't complain for the price.

I went for the 55 and mine just arrived. technically speaking it's better than the TCL and HiSense I was looking at. can't complain for the price, it's bright and fast response. its not future proof, so don't expect 120hz and there's absolutely no features to write about (I don't think even HDMI-CEC volume control works :\)

but hey $219 got me a big ass panel that won't report my porn habits to the mothership
