“Smart” devices are getting increasingly difficult to avoid in many products categories.
Try buying a non-smart TV without going to high cost commercial/industrial models.

Don’t connect the wifi and use an external device. Have no issues with my now lobotomized screen.

Until they start to force you to connect to “finish” setup. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
For now my new LG turns on directly to my external device and isn’t connected to the Internet. I did have to change a setting to turn on to the last input used instead of the useless home screen.

Sure, as long as the device doesn’t automatically connect to open networks, and if it does, you don’t live in an apartment, or moderate density area with available open wi-fi networks in range.
