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?

im thinking about getting a nice tv and desoldering the wifi chip, but its kinda intimidating. like would it even display an hdmi feed if the wifi chip is gone
remember wifi devices have an attenna, instead of removing the chip, soldering resistors to the antenna (or replacing it w/resistors) will drain it of power (more or less). no attenna power, no signal to connect; no signal to connect, no wifi.
though honestly tv wifi does a pretty good job at dropping signals on it’s own. most tv’s have a wifi OFF capability, always assumed that … worked?
some samsung tvs would autoconnect to open wifi networks, and that couldnt be disabled.
Wow that is crazy.
im not sure about all TVs but my sony TV has a laptop style wifi chip that you can just unplug
