While the ad situation with modern TVs is not something I want to defend, most of them can still be used as offline displays if you forego the smart features and simply feed them HDMI video and audio data without ever granting the TV an online connection. Unfortunately offline displays tend to either be prohibitively expensive (becuase they are sold as business displays) or lag behind in the technology used.
