Basically the only option I have found for a non-connected/smart/spyware tv in the last few months are commercial displays. They must price in the ad revenue to the consumer stuff because the price of those commercial displays is ~4x.
Can't you simply not connect your display to the Internet, or place it after a firewall which is blocking the internet traffic.
I seriously don't understand your concerns.
Probably, but maybe not. I can think of three ways a Smart TV could potentially get internet access without the owners knowledge.
So while the owner could choose not to give their Smart TV a wifi connection that doesn't mean the TV can't get one another way.
