Looking for a 4k tv without smart functions (feddit.de)

Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

You aren’t paying for the smartness. You are actually getting a subsidized TV that should cost a whole lot more but is being sold for cheap since it is also a data collection device.

Non smart TVs are more expensive than their smart counterparts.

The only answer is to never give your smart tv access to your network and to use an external device for streaming.
