My "smart TV" is a pile of junk. We wanted a large TV for home theatre, but couldn't find anything over 65" that wasn't "smart".

It takes 3-5 seconds to turn on, then another 10-20 seconds to react to input from the remote (at which time it will rapidly replay all input provided that it didn't react to in this time, sometimes turning itself back off for no reason).

All of the "apps" are barely responsive and crash regularly. Hulu, particularly will crash at the end of every episode.

I've tried factory resets, and was hopeful about an open source mod until I discovered my firmware version is "unpatchable" as of yet.

The Internet of Shit is alive and well.

My samsung tv is like this. All I want to do is turn the tv on and switch to HDMI 1. Something that used to be fast and trivial now takes ages of waiting for laggy animations.

It might interest you to look into the "digital signage" market. It is displays made for hotels and conferences and the like and they don't have those smart features (yet). Picture quality likely isn't going to be top of the line, though, so it depends on what you value.

Those also tends to be a lot harder to find in stores, if not impossible, together with a lot more expensive.
