I just recently found out about Thomson's "Easy TVs" LINK

Actual dumb TVs, with a good range on inputs and at a cheap price, they seem to be aimed at hotels and such.

The downside is that they only do 1080p at 40" or 43" but the appeal of getting one before they disappear from the market is strong (also I don't have any 4k media in my library so my worry is more about future proofing than any current necessity)
