Why should a TV ever need updates? Does anyone still make good “dumb” TVs that don’t want/need an internet connection?

I believe the search term you seek may be “commercial signage display”

I do purchasing for a company that installs digital signage, yeah this is what you want.

Look at the CDE series by Viewsonic or similar, we mostly order Viewsonics so they’re who I’ve seen.

These also tends to be designed for 16/7 runtime, which should be way more than most residential usage — unless grandma keeps it running 24/7… but hey, if you splurge a bit more, there are models designed for 24/7 as well.

I wanted a dumb tv. I was so sick of looking, I just got a 27" gaming monitor with 2k resolution for $150.

You can also get a 32" 4K monitor for like $500 but I didn’t really need that.

I’ve had updates fix issues with HDR and what not, but I do agree, and think dumb TVs so be more available

I bought a 50" TCL 5 Series a few years ago on-sale and never connected it to internet. It does fine for my needs and doesn’t bother me about connection or apps at all.
