> I have one today, displaying the output of an Apple TV and not directly connected to the Internet

That's how I do it as well, and I hate that dumb TVs are getting increasingly more rare.

I know the day is coming where any new "Smart" TV will mandate you connect it to the internet to go through some initial setup process or require regular phone homes to function, and I'm not looking forward to it.

I don't want my TV to do anything except display whatever I have connected to it. It's job stops there.
