What brand do you use of you don't mind sharing?
Not OP but I bought a 45" LG UltraGear gaming "monitor" a while back that's basically just a TV, no smart anything etc. Right now the only ones I see after a quick search are curved though, mine is flat.
Right? That leaves no TVs. I can't really think of any TVs that are ad-free, or are guaranteed to be ad free in future.
Personally I've been getting android TV boxes and installing a custom (and free) launcher on it, and using SmartTube for ad-free YouTube.
Not your traditional TVs but look and see if you can get some TVs aimed at venues / advertising. I can see an LG IPS display, 98 inch for sub 10k AUD including shipping (98UM5J-B).
Phillips, LG, Samsung and others offer commercial panels without the rubbish that consumer panels are infected with these days.
