I regret not having bought the 42in non-smart Insignia tv for $120.00 at Best Buy 3 years ago. Now there aren't any decent brands without the smart component.
As long as it supports booting straight to your chosen input it's good enough. Then you can just not put the tv online
Let me know which brands do that
My LG does that.
Have you considered a monitor? If your country has internet TV services it could be a viable alternative
