Not sure I could trust a TV made by Google.

Google TV is an operating system which other manufacturers like Sony and TCL preinstall.

I think its the best option because it has a basic TV mode which lets you use the TV with just the antenna and HDMI ports, and if you do decide to use the smart TV features, you can use apps only mode to disable the home screen ads as well as sideload apps.

Okay, good info. Sadly, is hard to trust anything with the Google name these days.
