Just buy a TV and don't connect the wi-fi for the smart capability. It's only 90% solved, but as long as it has HDMI inputs and a digital audio out it gets the job done.

Some of these TVs will find an unsecured network within range to connect to, so they can still bombard you with ads.

And (in my experience) they're still slow as hell. I press "power on" and have to go pour a drink or something while I wait for it to boot up, as if I'm warming up a radio in the 1930s.

I'll give you that one. I don't know about finding unsecured networks, that would be enough to make me return the TV, but the two Samsung TVs I have take about 30 seconds for their input menus to go away. The menu from my Shield or whatever little device I have on my office TV are loaded, but the "Select your input" kinda menu fills 20% of the screen for about 30 seconds and it's annoying.

That said.. I'm never in that much of a hurry so it doesn't really bother me (though it is a minor annoyance). I don't blame you if it bothers you, though.
