They exist, but they’re called commercial monitors

Just don’t connect it to the internet. Smart TV is now dumb TV. It really is that simple.

The smart TV part is conceptually okay, but the bullshit is unspeakable. I actually like that TVs have apps for the streaming services and stuff, if they didn’t have to be evil about how they implement it. But they’re evil, so here we all are, wanting completely dumb TVs.

I bought a 48" OLED "monitor" that has none.

Yes. Hate turning mine on and having to reset the input every single time because they're trying to annoy me into connecting it to wireless.

I got one a few years ago that had a setting to automatically go to a specified input when the TV started (similar to how normal TVs used to work). My only mistake was leaving the TV connected to the network, as it updated and caused some hassle recently.

Just attach your own streaming media player like Nvidia Shield or Chromecast or some other such device and you can just boot into that and bypass all smart TV features
