I’m afraid to upgrade from my ~6 year old LG OLED with a damaged corner because I pair it with an Apple TV and only see Apple ads occasionally on the Home Screen. I don’t know if a newer tv would give me the same experience.

All TVs with an hdmi input (where the input is the default input used) will work for you. If the TV doesn’t show the last used input (so it could show you ads), that would be a major problem. Thankfully, I don’t think we are there yet for TVs that aren’t marketed ad supported … yet.

Sceptre TVs. They sell large, dumb TVs that do not contain any networking equipment at all.

Yes, this is the answer in an ideal world. In practice, it's nearly impossible to buy Sceptre dumb TVs these days.

They are listed right there on the website. Add one to your cart and check out. What's impossible about that?

Go ahead and follow the steps to order one, then.

Most new TV's are fine if you just never connect them to network.

Except FireTV's. They complain constantly about the missing internet connection because they REALLY want to show you those ads.

New LG OLED TV’s are fine. You can keep them disconnected and just use external HDMI inputs without any nagging or issue.
