I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don’t want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that’s my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. ‘Sceptre’ is not available here.

In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:

  • ‘non-smart TVs aren’t a thing’ - fallback is a commercial display
  • ‘Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs’ - I do
  • ‘Any TV not connected to internet is dumb’/ ‘Just don’t connect it’ - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.

Thanks!

Edit:

Some commenters seem to be struggling with the ‘why do you care if it connects?’. Some examples why:

    This question is asked repeatedly, and this is always the correct answer. I honestly wish I could understand why people can’t seem to latch on to this concept.

      It’s just the ultra paranoid on here, who think that someone knowing they watch The Mandalorian is going to be used against them in some way.
