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.

As far as connecting the internet, there shouldn’t be any issue. I seriously doubt it will automatically connect to anything unless you tell it to.
Thanks for the link. Super helpful. I guess Im assuming in our new zero privacy dystopia that manufacturers would automatically have wifi turned on the second you powered up your tv or not allow you to use it until it “updates” or you create an “account”. Christ man, starting to think this world is giving me paranoia and ptsd.
I’ve seen people comment on a tech-heavy web forum about their smart TVs connecting to wifi against their wishes. I’m talking about software developers and hardware engineers who say this.
