Please elaborate...
Whether they're online or not, if they're preloaded with crapware they're preloaded with crapware, and they're still technically "smart". If you're trying to avoid dealing with those smart UIs, then they're still a problem.
I put mine on hdmi input and never see anything but what I put through the hdmi ports.
a regular tv, none smart. That just displays images via a hdmi
Computer monitors may scratch your itch.
My smart TV that is not connected to the internet does this just fine. I only use the hdmi input, never connected it to my internet, never setup any apps.
The problem with that option - non-smart - is that it doesn't exist. 2 years ago when I bought a new tv and looked for what was on the market there was basically zero tvs non-smart. Every little and big brand available only has smart tvs.
