Why is nobody filling that market niche for dumb TVs?

As far as I can see, the only ones doing it are the dollar store quality manufacturers. They usually pair it with a sub standard panel, so they're not popular. If you want the fancy display tech, like HDR, or OLED or something, then you're stuck to "premium" brands who try to harvest your information through the "smart" features.

Stuff like, watched time, content identification, etc, is all very lucrative in the advertising sector. Knowing what people are watching is important to knowing their customers for higher market penetration.
