I wish rtings had a Boolean on tvs so we could search explicitly for non smart models. That is basically the only thing else I’d want from that site, it’s really good.
I think the main problem is probably finding any mainstream consumer TVs that are non-smart. I have looked and beyond some obscure brands or short of incredibly expensive commercial models there are barely any options.
I'm with you, but I wonder if this is the sort of "only people on this site care and the vast majority of the readership wouldn't use it" thing ... I'm not sure it is, but it could be, and I wonder if somebody with their ear to the ground/access to more analytics knows.
On the topic of displays, and specifically monitors, also the excellent TFT Central ( http://tftcentral.co.uk/ ).

Run by one guy but he tests really well, bought my relatively cheap 32" few years ago and its great for both work and gaming with VRR.

Any TV is stupid if you don’t connect it to the Internet.

Look for digital signage displays and be prepared to pay double the price.
Not sure why you would care so much but this is pretty close:

Yes, for the things they cover Rtings is excellent.
