Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv's or other words none smart tv's? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

Whether they're online or not, if they're preloaded with crapware they're preloaded with crapware, and they're still technically "smart". If you're trying to avoid dealing with those smart UIs, then they're still a problem.

Computer monitors may scratch your itch.

My smart TV that is not connected to the internet does this just fine. I only use the hdmi input, never connected it to my internet, never setup any apps.

The problem with that option - non-smart - is that it doesn't exist. 2 years ago when I bought a new tv and looked for what was on the market there was basically zero tvs non-smart. Every little and big brand available only has smart tvs.
