Most of the reports of TV interference have come from the more expensive boards with the regulator built in. I understand the point and the desire for that, but there are tons of people who have gone with the cheap boards from China with no failures, no RFI issues, and no problems.
I replaced over 25 bulbs in my RV, all from eBay & Amazon, averaging about $4 each. It's been more than 2 years now. Easily double the light output. 1/5 the current drain. No RFI. No failures. No overheating. No regrets. Here's my story and pics
Everyone has different likes/dislikes as far as color temp & lumens, so it is important to find what YOU like before buying all of them. Try 1 or 2 of a couple different styles and color temps. When you find what you like, buy enough to do your full conversion.
