I just finished setting up a custom router with dns ad blocking. Next comes a media player so I can purge this smart TV filth from my household.

Huge shout out to Louis Rossmann and the FUTO communuty contributors, check out the wiki on self-hosted software if you haven't already.

They don't seem to be available in Europe.

Ah, that's unfortunate, and another good reason to consider resorting to a commercial display.

'Course, it's also possible that a commercial display is so much more expensive/a hassle that it might be worth figuring out how to buy a Sceptre TV in a country where it is sold and then importing it yourself.

The funny thing is that I can find all sort of accessories for those TVs on Amazon but not the TVs.

...Oh no. I just checked, and some of the TVs that did have Amazon listings as recently as a month or so ago (which I think was around the last time I mentioned this sort of thing) are no longer available, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-U550CV-U-Ultra-2160p-60Hz/dp/B01CDC49E0

There are still a couple of "Komodo by Sceptre" TVs left, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Komodo-Sceptre-KU515R-Ultra-3840x2160/dp/B07W68VFGL , but that's it. I hope they aren't in the process of exiting the market entirely, but I'm worried! 😟
