Recommendations for non-smart aka 'dumb' tv's please

I refuse to own any 'smart' devices beyond my existing Android phone and tablet.

ie. no smart-speakers, no smart tv's, no 'smart home' stuff. As an IT hardware guru there is far too much security risk with those things.

Can anyone recommend good non-smart aka 'dumb' tv's? None of the main brands make anything other than 'smart' tv's now. I was studying LG and Samsung products primarily (because of the OLED tech, and similar) but I think only the lower-tier brands do dumb tv's now.

If a person says that they do not want a 'smart' tv you don't need to question the reasoning because you think nobody shouldn't have a smart tv. Some people (like me) hate the idea of an internet-connected tv and simply want one to watch free to air tv channels on and maybe connect a computer or DVD player up to.

Nice speech, and a very creative way to spin what I said into something that has no connection to what I said.

The OP said:

And in response, I said:

What kind of security risk are you worried about?

Seeing that she said she's an IT hardware guru.
