I have a 2012 Panasonic Viera TV that is not that great but works... Let's talk about it.
I have a box hooked up to it that allows me to watch TV, it's proprietary but works fine. It also allows me to watch YouTube which is something I do alot. I can also just hook up anything using HDMI. And yes, it has a headphone jack, on a tv...
There a lot of issues I'll just list really quickly here:
It generally feels unfinished, for example: When adding a bookmark, it just pops up an error with the text "cant add anymore". Exactly like that, I know Panasonic spent like 20 dollars on development but still, fix yo stuff.
You have an app store with a few apps, all of them don't get updated anymore and are about 7 years old.
In the case of TuneIn, an app that exists. Like 50% of stations work, I have no idea why some don't work but they just don't. And there's no support you'll get for that tv purely because it's so old.
Homebrew for the tv would be possible, since you can install updates from an usb drive. So that might be an option, I just don't have the capability to make homebrew for this. I guess other people can try to make it if they are able to, I'll gladly help (contact me through the about page).
