I have a dumb LG TV and idek how I'll replace it when it's finished. Do they even sell dumb TV's anymore?
You have to buy a "smart tv", never connect it to wifi and plug a proper media device to it.
Are there really only smart tvs nowM
Search for the ones that are meant for retail use. I don't recall what they're called, but that class of tvs will get you a decent dumb tv.
Do they even have good image quality?
Digital signage? They're basically monitors but often have a basic onboard OS like Android for running DS apps, but like you said they're otherwise a dumb TV without the aerial port.
What I've done.
I have a dumb tv now, I plan to replace it with a computer monitor. Sound and video go through my reciever already, which sends the video to my tv. Chromecast and a rpi to do any smart things.
I think those are called "commercial displays" now.
Don't buy LG?
I don't plan on it after my current TV goes. This one was given to me when my parents got a new TV.
