If the room is small enough room with the seating closet enough to the screen, a large computer monitor could do the job pretty well. You’d have to be fine with doing all input switching and audio control on a receiver or only ever use a single device as the input.
That’s not true. I forget what the term is, but corporate displays are dead simple, no ads or bullshit. Think of something sold to a deli to display menu items. But be prepared: consumer TVs are so cheap partly because of the expected ad revenue, these will be more expensive. I’m about to buy my first TV upgrade in over a decade and I’m just going to never connect it to Wi-Fi. I might even disable the wireless adapter, we’ll see…
Get a dumb TV and plug in a cheap computer where you can pirate everything
If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy
I’m not sure they exist, but either way, just plug something in and don’t connect the TV itself to the internet.
They simply don’t exist anymore. The only choice is to do this with a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.
