How do I buy a new television - eviltoast

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.

    I’d say get a computer monitor rather than something sold as a TV. Less likely to spy on you. If your TV has a microphone, assume it is listening.

      If you go this route be aware a sizeable number of cheap monitors have no speakers so you would need a solution to this
