Do you know electronic, and how to use digital analyzer to capture digital signals?, i don't know what interface current gen TV screen panel uses but in laptops they use LVDS or eDP and in smartphones and tablets they use mipi dsi. You have to reverse engineer the interface to know what each pins does and then buy or make a custom board to control the display panel and don't forget you also have to write firmware and if you are making a custom board you have to use a FPGA to convert digital signal from HDMI to what that panel support and also you have to program that FPGA, for that you have to learn digital electronic and verilog/VHDL language. It's a quite a lot of work and direct resource(like this project) on internet are low, but it still will be a fun project

Screw TVs, digital signage is the way. With every new smart TV I am more convinced that I'm just going to buy this display from this Jeff Geerling video
Took a while but I found a decent dumb tv to buy. It’s working well for me but some folks have said the lifespan isn’t super long since it’s an off brand with a four star build quality. But the damn thing turns on in under five seconds and the picture quality is great.
I did the same thing a couple of years ago. Both of my older dumb TV's bought the big one within weeks of each other. So I searched and found 2 new dumb TV's.
We rarely use them for anything other than casting from the unofficial streaming sites. When my inlaws visit they watch broadcast TV on them.
My teens use their phones or computers.

get and root an android tv box, if you want a cheap one, get a xiaomi mi box, don't get cheap-ass chinese crap (like the X... ones) from AliExpress.
