So, any recs. on good dumb tvs?

I'm upgrading to a projector soon, but also would love a few screens with actual buttons on the device incase of the inevitable remote loss.

Haven't bought a TV in 12 years, out of curiosity - if you're not using the smart features of the TV would not connecting it to the network not be the best solution?

For my current use, (mostly screen sharing) I think it has to be connected.

Also, I think most smart tvs require regular updates or they "won't work".

It's worth a shot though, I'll have to look into it.
