The Wirecutter's top TV pick is a non-smart one, ironically a Vizio.

"In a departure from the trend toward smarter and smarter sets, the Vizio P-Series lacks built-in smart-TV features. It’s basically a dumb TV, not just lacking apps but also dispensing with a tuner."

If it doesn't have a tuner, doesn't that just make it a monitor with speakers?

If you're using a STB, that hardly matters, but I'd think a cord-cutter would like the option to plug an antenna in the back and watch OTA stations without needing extra hardware.
