Any tips on cheap a 32in tv? I can't find any locally and online they all have smart junk.

Best suggestion I can give you (after having this battle a few years ago regarding a 55” tv and losing) is just don’t connect the damn thing to the internet during setup. (I had to connect online for a firmware update and my pihole was having a field day blocking like 15 different domains it was trying to reach to for ads and whatnot. )

Or just get a pc monitor, at 32” I think you’re still within parameters for that.
