The fire stick is the pure streaming dongle, a Fire TV is an actual TV which includes that dongle built in and sold at a discount.

So, buying a cheap Amazon fire TV and not connecting it to the internet is a reasonable choice for a cheap ‘dumb’ TV.

There's also the "Fire TV" which is a streaming box and not a stick, sold from 2015 to 2022, which doesn't help the confusion in the naming.
