I'm curious if anyone would vouch for a TV manufacturer? Are there any good dumb TVs anymore? I have a Samsung smart TV and it is an absolute pain in the ass to use the remote UI. I have resorted to running KODI on a Linux box instead.

Sennheiser

Just FYI, Sennheiser’s consumer audio department got bought out a few years ago. I can’t say as to whether that has affected the quality of their products, but brands being purchased rarely works in their favour.

I’m a Sony kid these days.

To be fair, Sennheiser's consumer line have always been pretty mediocre. Their pro audio line have always been solid and what their good rep is based on.

Fuckin ASRock, my childhoods nightmares.

Best friend and I got 2 ASRock boards in highschool, both failed for no reason within 10 months and then months of sending it back and forth multiple times for repair.

Never buying anything ASRock since.

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

I've had two boards from them and both have worked without any issues and my last one was in service for 10 years.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I have had great success with ASRock personally.

I have an ASRock Mobo rn! their software is kinda shit but the mobo itself is great

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ASRock is the only mobo I ever used that died on me for no reason at all and I'm hardly the only one.

[–] cordlesslamp 2 points 2 months ago

Same for me. Shutdown the PC at night and went to bed, next morning it won't turn on anymore.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Asrock used to be budget boards, did that change? When? I never consider them unless on very tight budgets for that reason.

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think Philips are pretty decent for smart tvs
