LGs, while still smart TVs, are relatively competent at being dumb TVs. Your only other options these days (sans rescuing a dumb TV from e-waste) are commercial panels and projectors.



If you just use an HDMI input and attach some streaming box to it, Samsung TVs work just fine. Just never touch the remote and only interact with the source and everything works.


We have a 4K TV from Philips (really, TP Vision), which has Android TV, but you can just set it to an HDMI input and then it works as a dumb TV.

Being a Philips (TP Vision), it also has Ambilight, which is nice.

It’s a few years old though, so no guarantees that newer Philips (TP Vision) models work the same way.
