    They simply don’t exist anymore. The only choice is to do this with a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.

      If the room is small enough room with the seating closet enough to the screen, a large computer monitor could do the job pretty well. You’d have to be fine with doing all input switching and audio control on a receiver or only ever use a single device as the input.

      That’s not true. I forget what the term is, but corporate displays are dead simple, no ads or bullshit. Think of something sold to a deli to display menu items. But be prepared: consumer TVs are so cheap partly because of the expected ad revenue, these will be more expensive. I’m about to buy my first TV upgrade in over a decade and I’m just going to never connect it to Wi-Fi. I might even disable the wireless adapter, we’ll see…
