You can buy a non-tv of any size. They are often called commercial displays but it’s just a big monitor (dumb firmware).

If you want no ads it means your own software. That is a truthful answer.

Or simply a smart TV with no internet. Like the real obvious answer without overengineering it. You're too narrow minded. Hell, even with Internet if you wanna get into overengineering, it's simple enough to block on your own network. Many TVs have image processing which can make crappy look good and can even make a cheap computer setup look better if you can't afford the graphics cards.

Honestly, it's like you found one answer and just assumed it's the only one. No one is saying your solution doesn't work for some people. Just that it wasn't what the person asked.

I think you read too much into my response. Buying a display without a smart tv platform is a simple option. Of course it has different results.
