My parents are getting a new tv, and are asking for recommendation. I think all I can influence is the brand/model (not realistic to propose rpi and more complex systems). I instinctively avoid google/android and lean towards anything else open source, so probably LG WebOS.. But I had bad luck searching for more detailed comparisons. Maybe you have experience or opinions?

Absolutely this. Depending on how you use it though, make sure you have a VPN and private DNS setup on your router

Why do you need private dns for?

To control what can be accessed.

Having your own DNS enables you to block ads on every device in your network.

PiHole makes my smart TV more responsive, because it can't get crap to load into the home screen.
