  Non-Smart TV options

  you've got some solid options! Look for TVs marketed as "commercial displays" or "hospitality TVs" which are basically dumb TVs made for hotels and businesses. Brands like Sceptre and Insignia still make some affordable non-smart models too. What you need is at least 2 HDMI ports (one for PS4, one for DVD player) and 1080p resolution minimum for PS4 gaming. Sceptre E-Series runs about $150-300 depending on size, or you can search for "commercial display" on Amazon or B&H. Honestly though, here's a pro tip: you can buy any smart TV and just never connect it to wifi - they work perfectly fine as regular displays and are often cheaper since they're mass-produced. Your PS4 and DVD player will work great with any TV that has HDMI, no internet required for offline gaming. What size screen are you looking for?

  What are some good brands for 32 inch TV? I'm looking at Amazon. I've only tried LG TV's

  If you’ve only tried LG, you’re already off to a solid start. they last forever. Other than that you can also look at Samsung and Sony if you want something reliable with good picture quality. TCL and Hisense are pretty popular too (especially for Roku/Google TV built-in and decent value for money). If you’re just using it for streaming or as a secondary TV, even Toshiba and Insignia (Amazon’s house brand) are decent and won’t break the bank. I’d avoid super off-brands unless you just need something temporary. Linking [a list](https://d3oc4tmn8qmbnq.cloudfront.net/?q=GMKAO1068) of nice options here Main thing is: stick with the bigger brands if you care about picture quality, menus not being laggy, and the TV not dying in 2 years. But honestly, LG/Samsung/TCL/Sony are all pretty safe bets.
