I’ve heard that the “smart” feature services actually help subsidize the overall cost of the TV, but if that’s true, I doubt any of those savings are being passed to the consumer.
There are relatively few, but there are a couple. The Sceptre U515CV-UMC is probably the most well known one. It’s easy to find a dumb TV in the sub 24" category, too, but that’s probably not what most people are looking for and at that rate most nerds would probably just use a computer monitor instead anyway.
Does it act as a dumb monitor? Can all smart TV features be permanently disabled?
I’m pretty happy with my samsung. No really, hear me out, if power cuts out, when it resumes, the tv auto starts on the same input.
I have it connected to a pc, and use a smart plug for turning on and off. Haven’t seen a trace of the smarts for years :D
You can prolly just not connect it to Wi-Fi but I seriously doubt any TVs these days don’t have this bullshit.

TV’s is one of the few things that have gotten cheaper of the years

No DisplayPort on that Sceptre, obviously.
Scepter makes non-smart TVs . They aren’t very high res.
