This is what I would buy.

How much do you want to spend on a tv?
How big?
How about a sound system? Do you need one of those too?
How far will you sit from the screen? That determines size.
he asks about a new tv...not a flash drive to turn a tv into a computer....

Go with 4k...50-60 inches...the better brands are Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Vizio....they're all mostly led tv's...get one with a 240hz refresh rate at the least...OLED if you can afford it...go to ledtvbuyingguide.com and check out the ratings...if you have to buy local then Bestbuy(about the only good choice for local is your best bet...otherwise look at buying direct from the company, amazon or other reliable online retailers...good luck...oh and you really only need a smart tv if you'll do a lot more than watch tv...but most come as smart tv's now...
