Someone a while back on a thread not dissimilar from this one suggested looking into commercial display screens. A kind of BYO solution to the smart TV problems.

The nice thing about Samsungs is that basically all their remotes work with all their TVs, so I just found one without the smart button so I can't tell that mine is smart, and I obviously never connected it to internet. I think it's a lot cheaper than trying to get a commercial dumb TV too.

Weren't Samsung TVs the one that would connect to neighbors TVs and stuff and find other ways to connect to the Internet?

Thought that was Hisense... Could be both actually.

Wouldn't that only work if your neighbors tv was plugged into Ethernet so that the wifi chip can be free to start a hotspot? I can't find any info about that so I'm not sure.
