These TVs can capture and identify 7,200 images per hour, or approximately two every second. The data is then used for content recommendations and ad targeting, which is a huge business; advertisers spent an estimated $18.6 billion on smart TV ads in 2022, according to market research firm eMarketer.

I am nearsighted and wanted a ~75” tv for the bedroom so I don’t have to lay sideways on my glasses while watching and cuddling.
I could not find a single non-smart tv in that size. Nobody is interested in selling dumb TVs because there is money to be made :/
The price of TVs is heavily subsidized by the “smart” features. Same way that PCs are subsidized by having Windows pre-installed.
The trouble is you can’t find decent sized monitor panels at reasonable prices. Frankly your most practical bet is to buy a TV with minimal smart functions and never connect it, then use that for your media PC. Also maybe hack the TV, that should be far more common IMO.
Nice setup. You could try Radarr and Lidarr, and Plex. Plex would probably work with your tv card and bring all your media together.
