I just got this one myself (the 50-inch model, really), and am completely satisfied with the purchase.

If you have time, please could you check somewhere if there are traces of any manufacturer other than Sceptre? Although possible, I don't think they're made exclusively by or for Sceptre as the cost should be much higher due to the smaller market, so I believe there are chances they could exist somewhere else under a different brand, which hopefully would distribute in the EU. Thanks!

Anecdotally, I heard a German TV brand called Telefunken sells some non-smart TVs, e.g:
