At this point my next TV is just going to be a big monitor plugged into a fanless PC, or the functional equivalent (all smart features disabled, HDMI input only) if I can't find something I like at a good price. A monitor will have better picture, refresh rate and response time as well.

+1 for HTPC. The safest easiest way to use a TV. Steam big picture works very well with this.

Go with the second option. Those "features" make consumer TVs more affordable

Fuck smart tvs. I only use tvs by plugging in my laptop via hdmi. It's only a matter of time before smart tvs start reporting people for stuff like watching pirated content or voiding TOS's with adblockers.

You may also want to consider a projector. Though those are also starting to get smart features...
