It's essentially impossible to buy a consumer TV that's not "smart" these days. There are commercial TV's/monitors, but those are both expensive and also typically not focused on image quality.
Best solution is to "air gap" your TV by not connecting it your wifi or ethernet.

How long will it be before TVs embed a cellular modem with manufacturer-paid service to keep the smart features connected? “No setup, works straight out of the box” has to have at least some marketing value, after all.
For the walls and ceiling, prime with 2-3 coats of paint that contains carbon black and graphite. It's black, so several finish coats will be necessary. For the windows, use aluminum screening. That also works well on floors, under engineered wood flooring. Nylon plated with nickel and silver makes nice drapes.
This might work in the US, units sold in the EU would be litigated out of production. Who knows, maybe we'll see a homebrew market for EU-built apps for US TV's.
And those manufacturers will double-down by scanning for an open wireless network and send the data stream without you knowing, or embed a cellular modem to bypass all that.
Can you point me at an EU marketplace where I can pick a non-smart TV with modern good display? I've been desperate to find something like that for months.
