I got a very cheap 4k Spectre tv from Walmart. I specifically wanted a “dumb” tv because I have an Xbox and I don’t need overly complicated, slow, janky interface. It has this funny issue when I put my router behind it where the volume goes up and down by itself. I moved the router and the issue is gone.
I have been surprised by it. It was so cheap I thought it couldn’t possibly be decent, but I barely watch tv so it was whatever.
4k video is absolutely beautiful on there. I half expected or to be lying on the box.
I don’t see the point in smart tvs (at least for me).
Unfortunately there’s so many OEM variants of these things that it borderlines on impossible to tell for certain which ones are and which ones aren’t, short of taking the firmware apart. Given the proximity in the naming convention, I suspect it might be.
Much as I dislike Google, the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) variant is probably the closest in price and is reputable.
Saw your edit, just a reminder for people to be careful with cheap Android TV boxes off Amazon/AliExpress etc. Lots of them are malware-ladden: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/18/popular-android-tv-boxes-sold-on-amazon-are-laced-with-malware/

I recommend the Onn one
I got the Easytone T95super after reading an Expert Reviews review, is that any relation to the Allwinner T95? Have I made a grave error? 😂
