Best Buy sells the "DuraPro - Partial Sun Series 43" Class LED Outdoor Partial Sun 4K UHD TV (2023)" which is supposedly a "non-smart" TV. I just ran a search and don't know anything about it, personally. They could still be screenshotting AFAIK.

All TVs are non-smart TVs if you don't give them internet.

Is this even possible nowadays? Maybe they already have an embedded 5G radio? (subsidized by advertisers)

Have you ever seen such a thing? I haven't. I'm sure one exists but I could go to an electronics store right now and I doubt I would see a single one.

They will still take way too long to boot android on their underpowered MCU
