I've never encountered a JPEG I couldn't display except a few which were obviously clobbered by data recovery errors after an accidental format of a flash card. Most all of my JPEGs are derived from raw files and have had at least minor exposure corrections applied.

    One point that my experience suggests that you should bear in mind.  My
    4 year old  (Sony) TV in the UK  seems fussy about the type of .jpg
    offered to it!
    Thus, I have an ethernet link to it from the household computer network
    and can view pictures stored on the computer hard-drives (after
    arranging the necessary permissions).  BUT, it will only show some of
    my pictures, and reports others to be 'inaccessible' or similar.  I
    think the same happens if the pictures are on a USB stick.   I have not
    identified the cause of this effect but believe the inaccessible ones
    are ones which I have edited in some particular way.
    As far as I know, the problem does not arise if I run a slideshow on a
    laptop and connect the latter to the TV with an HDMi cable.  Thus I
    assume it is something to do with my TV's software, possibly similar to
    that which I met long ago when trying to play CD's on a Philips
    portable CD player which I came to believe would not accept CD's which
    did not conform to a Philips patent ie a DRM issue.
    Perhaps you should attempt to try a selection of  your .jpgs on any TV
    before buying, and not rely on a demonstration using .jpgs selected by
    the salesperson - difficult if you cannot buy locally.
    I would be interested to know if any other listee has had similar
    problems.
