It is still possible to buy "dumb" TV's. Tons of businesses need them for display purposes (like at fast food restaurants and corporate expos, etc, etc), but you need to search for commercial displays. Like this one.

Bless you for providing a link; I can't tell you howany times I've seen this advice without any link or instructions on how to locate these

No problem! I work in television/live streaming production. Finding and buying "dumb" monitors when we build out new sets and presentation spaces is literally part of my job.

Day 1,826 of telling people they can buy a smart TV and just not connect it to the internet
You don't need to spend $700 on a TV that doesn't connect to the internet

Wait until you learn tvs can piggy back off other tvs that are connected to the internet.

Citation sorely needed
That's not a citation silly, that's a downvote. Don't get mad at me because there aren't actually any TVs doing this

I didnt downvote you.
I cant find definitive proof. But it hardly would suprise me with the shady shit samsung does.

The downside is they also tend to be designed to look like a sign.
Low refresh rates, not great contrast, etc.
Some aren't bad but they're also not super comparable to decent consumer TVs specs wise depending on what you're looking for.
