Any tips for finding a 'dumb' tv? One that switches on from power off in seconds, instead of a two minute loading screen?

Sceptre still makes dumb tvs, as far as I know. I've heard quality is hit or miss. Mine works fine after 7 years, but others have said colors don't hold and similar.

Saw someone a few years ago recommending shopping for "commercial displays" apparently they are more expensive, but they exist. Try that out in your preferred google machine.
