I want to buy a large new tv mostly for my steamdeck. I dont want it to access the internet for obvious reasons. I live in a community with wide open wifi everywhere that requires no password, so devices turned on here just hook up automatically. Im not tech savvy so wont be doing any raspberry pi black magic. Any suggestions about specific televisions or workarounds in this situation would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a smart tv but not connect it to the wifi. We have a Phillips 43pfs5525 and we just never connected it to the wifi.

When you turn your tv on does it just boot up with the wifi on? Thats mostly my concern.

The wifi may be on, but it won't automatically connect to a network, even if it's open. You'd have to specify which network to connect to.

My advice? Steer clear of Samsung. I have two and the HDR implementation on both is absolute shit with no way to disable it. Picture looks great without it, but with it turned on everything is dark, muddy and unwatchable.

Only way around it is to disable HDR on every device connected to it.

Try cycling between picture modes. Doing that mostly solves my HDR problems with Prime

Oh, I've done everything. It's a known problem with Samsung.

Okay, works for me though.
