Maybe just buy a monitor, particularly if you only need streaming.

    I use my "smart" tv as a monitor to stream. It has never connected to the internet and it does not pester me.

    This is the real answer. If you don't have any benefit from connecting it to the Internet, don't. Use a separate device for streaming, if you have to. I guess Apple TV or NVIDIA Shield, or Chromecast? I need to look into the benefits, but I don't want to support Roku anymore...
