If you're not worried about all the highest-end bells and whistles, I can recommend Sceptre as a good budget option. They're relatively cheap and have no "smart" features, which is important for me. The picture quality is "good enough"; it's not the best, but it's far from the worst I've seen. Though a soundbar/speakers will be a required separate purchase, as these TVs all seem to come equipped with 20 year old laptop speakers. They won't give you a home theater experience, but if you just need something for watching TV or playing games, they're decent.
I've had mine for about 5 years now, and have had no real problems with it. The only minor issue is that the LED for the power indicator doesn't work consistently, but it's not exactly hard to tell when the TV is turned off or on so it's not even a concern for me.
