Thousands of Android TV devices come with unkillable backdoor preinstalled - lemm.ee

I miss having a dumb tv
I’m annoyed that they don’t sell them and that even if you don’t connect a smart tv to wifi to keep it dumb it’ll still not just be a display and it’ll try to shove stuff in your face
I bought a Hisense and it had the option during setup to disable most smart features and leave it in “basic mode”. I was already going to put an Apple TV in it so I just left it there and I’ve been happy. Only thing a tv needs is settings and the ability to change inputs.

android tv has this option at setup, like Sony and whatever else

your Hisense has android tv pre-installed
