Looking for TV with/without specific features

[Gravemind]

Looking for a TV to get by Christmas that meets these criteria without breaking the bank. Bigger is better but at least 32'' should be fine. I've done digging on Amazon, Newegg, etc., but it's not the easiest thing. Most features I want/don't want are impossible to determine via descriptions or reviews.

 

1. 1080p @  60hz only

2. Can play videos (mp4/mkv/whatever) from a USB stick
3. Digital antenna spot
4. Netflix integration
5. Does normal broadcast television and play off USB without internet (I've seen TV's lockdown if your internet is down. For real.)

6. Must NOT have fancy-schmancy features without a 100% on/off toggle. (EX: Adaptive brightness, smoothing, audio leveling.)
7. Related to #6^, a TV that just plays things the same as their source. Doesn't fuck with the picture, doesn't ruin the audio. Just outputs the source video and audio without any mucking with it.
8. Can output audio to a soundbar via wires.

 

 

Amazon or Newegg links are preferred but not required.

Preferably $300 or less

Ships to the US

What price? Because chances are if you're looking at 160 bucks, there will be  a 4k version for 180 bucks. Also I totally agree with 7.

I'll just say I have a budget of $300~~

Post whatever and I can determine if it's worth it myself

I dont have a suggestion but https://www.rtings.com/tv has some good info on TV's. Id start there. Also, looking in to features and stuff, you might have to go to the manufactures website.

Netflix integration

So your looking for a smart TV. You might be better with a non smart TV and a Roku or Fire stick. On the other side of things TCL embeds Roku tech in all of their TV's. I have been looking at their TV's to replace my aging 32" Samsung.

You need to look for HDMI with ARC or what might be better is optical. I know for a fact if you connect a TV to a sound bar via optical cable, every device plugged in should output to the sound bar.
