I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don’t want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that’s my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. ‘Sceptre’ is not available here.
In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:
- ‘non-smart TVs aren’t a thing’ - fallback is a commercial display
- ‘Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs’ - I do
- ‘Any TV not connected to internet is dumb’/ ‘Just don’t connect it’ - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.
Thanks!
Edit:
Some commenters seem to be struggling with the ‘why do you care if it connects?’. Some examples why:

Here’s an 85" monitor.
At 190 lbs, though, that’s getting back into the same “I don’t want to haul that up stairs” territory that CRTs were getting into near the end of their days. I think I’d start looking at projectors with nice screens at that point.
Thanks, don’t need touch and the price is a bit on the heavy side

Here’s a 65" monitor being sold by Amazon UK. It’s less, though also touch.
EDIT: Though I really hope that that wattage rating is just an error in Amazon’s database.
