So just don’t use the built in software. I don’t have any of my TVs connected to the internet or use their built in OS. I have a couple of Apple TVs plugged in and run everything off that. Never even set the things up beyond plugging them in and switching to HDMI 1.
There’s also the Chromecast TV if you use Android.
If you use a separate smart tv device like those, then the only thing you need to care about on the TV itself is resolution, refresh, and number of ports. Or if you want to spend a chunk of change then you can look into things like OLED. But the separate devices make the TV OS irrelevant.
My personal TV is a Samsung commercial display unit; it isn't Roku or Tizen or whatever else. It's still very much a computer though, it still has a network port and keeps pestering about connecting to the internet and registering it and all that shit.
I drive it with a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.
