    Start buying commercial displays. Cost more but will be about as close to a dumb tv. You will have to provide your own smart device for apps …

        Some TVs listen for open networks and use those, so if there is one near you your TV could sneak out either way.

      Commercial displays are not tvs. Quite often the refresh rate is terrible and you cannot watch action movies on it, because it was designed to show static billboard ads.
