Crap.

So which brand should be my next TV with a comparable display panel?

I looked into this last year when my TV broke.

I didn’t care a great deal about picture quality so you may want to look into that part, but I ended up buying a (I think 4k?) Sony Bravia. It’s a “Google tv” but it allows you to set it up as a regular TV instead and never connect it to the internet.

The HDMI CEC has bug and it doesn’t always work, but it’s not reason enough for me to connect it to the internet to update it. Otherwise it works fine.

Sceptre is really the only brand I'm aware of making dumb TVs still.

I don't want a dumb TV, just a TV that doesn't spy on me. Maybe those are antonyms these days.

Do Sceptre make large-inch OLEDs of similar quality to LG's? Or similar technology?

Yes

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
