Was deeply frustrated last year when it became clear in the US market at least that dumb TVs no longer exist, not unless one wants to pay the 4x premium for buying a gaming monitor and using it as a TV.
Decided to buy an Android TV, one that would not need a network connection on the Android side for HDMI input mode to work, and
just keep a computer plugged into it. Lack of sensible remote control is annoying. But forced ads are infuriating.

They are designed for hotels and hospitals, and have the same picture quality but no smart stuff. An example from Samsung: https://www.cdw.com/product/samsung-678u-series-55-4k-uhd-led-hospitality-tv/5364487 https://www.cdw.com/product/samsung-678u-series-55-4k-uhd-le...
