sceptre tvs are pretty affordable. Have been using it for a while - no issues. No wifi though, just hdmi and usb.

I'm currently in the market for a 55-inch Sceptre "dumb TV", for a family member, having seen them frequently recommended on HN.

But I can't find one anywhere! I even tried e-mailing the sales contact on their Web site, but I haven't heard back. Any pointers?

(I can't find a 55-inch Insignia, either -- that's the other "dumb" brand that gets some recommendations, including in this thread.)
