I don't play games on my TV but I have a really old 1080p one with a native Plex and YouTube apps with no nonsense. I have seen the ads and other stupid bullshit modern tvs come with, I'm going to be fixing this TV up until my dying breath.

This is me, but TV is from 2009.
I was using an old plasma screen from around 2008/9 for a while until my girlfriend's sister's exboyfriend stole it. Their dad gifted me a 55in 4k tv that wasn't bid on at an auction he was running. That plasma is probably gonna burn down Shithead's place at some point, it was pretty sketchy.
I legit just had an Olevia branded 37 inch TV I’ve had since 2007 bite the dust finally. 16 years was a hell of a run, It cost me $600 at the time, which cost me roughly $37.50 per year of use. RCA ports went out partially ages ago but the HDMI just kept ticking. It was an lcd and I never had a single pixel die out on me. Played everything from GameCube-Wii-Switch ,PS2-4, OGxbox-360-XboxOne and ran a chromecast for the last 3-4 constantly. Felt like I was putting a dog out to pasture. Loved that bad boy.
