You can just take the subsidized TV and never connect it to the internet.
It doesn't fix the problem of the heavy broken OS the chip isn't capable of running to make every interaction a slog. Smart TVs are absolute dumpster fires at basic tasks like switching between inputs, after you jump through the 30 settings to turn off all the "optimizations" that make the image look like shit with the bonus of super high latency.
My LG runs perfectly fine. I’ve never connected it to the internet. I was able to update its firmware with a USB drive to get a bug fix for VRR.
Same for the Samsung that lives in my bedroom.
