check out “commercial display” tvs. they always have ports and usually don’t come with as much software

AFAIK the problem with those is that they're overpriced and have inferior picture quality. I guess if you want to make a statement or something they're worth buying, but for now I still think your best choice is to buy a "smart tv" and don't connect it to wifi.

I was under the impression that commercial displays optimize for longevity instead of picture quality. Is that not the case?

Correct - they’re usually designed for always-on signage like you’d see at an airport.
