Just looked at a price checking site, checking the oled and "no smart tv" boxes. Zero hits.

It is not a question about affordable TV. The only ones that does not have smart features (as far as I can identify) are the cheapest LCD ones at the bottom of the price list.

The best alternatives that I can find is projectors or monitors, as those seems to so far not expect an Internet connection.

There are professional displays (e.g. panels used for conference centres, offices, etc.) which are usually large and have no smart features.

But you can forget about common TV features like HDR support, DTS/DD audio decoding, usable remotes and other useful features.

Look for "Digital signage displays" (but they are not cheap).

Did they include Sceptre TVs? They make dumb 4K TVs.
