You have to buy a "smart tv", never connect it to wifi and plug a proper media device to it.

Are there really only smart tvs nowM

Search for the ones that are meant for retail use. I don't recall what they're called, but that class of tvs will get you a decent dumb tv.

Do they even have good image quality?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Digital signage? They're basically monitors but often have a basic onboard OS like Android for running DS apps, but like you said they're otherwise a dumb TV without the aerial port.
