Hammer is best way. I would say, seriously, don’t buy it. Even though it’s more expensive, buy the dumb TV, because that tells companies that there is demand for dumb TVs.

How much more expensive would a dumb TV compared to a Smart TV for the same quality?
That’s a serious question as I had never thought about all these privacy issues before buying a TV.

Best buy has non smart listing for 55in TVs for about $1,800, it’s also intended for outdoor use. In comparison you can get a 55 in smart tv for $400 from best buy.
There are listings for an $800 hospitality TV, but that is internet capable.

They’re not even really available anymore. There’s some but they’re more meant to be directly sold to businesses, and often lack features in addition to costing much more. Easiest thing to do is get a smart TV and just don’t let it connect to the internet.

My computer monitor can take HDMI and DisplayPort. It’s just a display.
Computer monitors might not be large enough for someone, depending upon their use.
I remember in the 1980s, people using televisions as low-end computer monitors. I suppose the circle is complete.

Honestly, I couldn’t tell you because I haven’t owned a TV in about a decade.
