A friend is looking for one and I don’t know what to recommend.

Assuming that the goal is to never connect it to the internet and plug in another device with HDMI.

    I’d buy an HDMI monitor instead of a TV, I guess. Why a new one though? There are tons of super cheap ones at goodwill stores.

        Yes, most major brands. They’re often used in meeting rooms, lobbies, and public places (places you don’t want pop-up ads that you aren’t already being paid for). Not to mention that you can get LED video walls that are modular and snap together.

            That’s because TVs subsidize the price with their spyware. But it’s pretty easy to not connect it to the Internet.

              Also economies of scale. They will sell 10.000 TVs for every commercial display.

        Web search says absolutely yes. Affordable ones? IDK, you’ll have to check.
