I just want one DP input and I’ll decide how to split my inputs with an outside box. The TV should only decide how to show the picture. I don’t need your YouTube app
Look for “commercial display panels.” They’re 3-4 times the price of a smart TV, but they are just basic TVs. If you find a bank, hospital, clinic, or any other privacy focused business that’s going out of business you can generally pick those used displays up pretty cheap.
What are garbage smart menus that can’t be avoided?
I’m not being funny. I’m still on a Panasonic last gen thin plasma FHD but thinking of upgrading to a LG C5 OLED when they are on final sale when this year models are rolling out. I’m only watching movies through the box connected to it.
Make a dumb tv and I’ll be a buyer

Yeah, a dream: dumb TV with awesome modern panel and range of connectivity ports like HDMI, DP, DP over USB-C, composite, scart

However, the image quality of those displays is usually worse compared to home displays. This is from a technical who works with these products.
Can’t you just use any modem TV and not hook it up to the interwebs?
I believe more and more TVs require network connection for setup.
I used an Ethernet cord for what they made me set up, then unplugged that and have never connected it again.
They will still have those garbage “smart” menus.

Android TV is absolute garbage. It’s horrible to use with a remote, is full of ads, and is somehow sluggish on a 1.5GHz quad core.
I usually do this but would still prefer a dumb TV, mainly to reduce the possible points of failure
ive heard: buy one made for business
there’s a lot more options there, that dont have ads, etc
