Good day! I am trying to find a good alternative as not to use the"smart" functions or using an Xbox to consume our media. I found a few options ie like plasma big screen but it's no longer in development. Essentially I would line love to have it running on an rpi4 and just hooked up to the TV.

You could maybe get an advertisement screen. You know, those you find at train stations and stores.

Maybe, you could even get something like those touch panels McDonald's uses, that would be nice!

Isn't most digital signage "SMART" too?

They usually have a dedicated compute unit which is sold separately (or by a different company)

Nice, I might have to get one. Also, your name reminds me I have to buy more Borax.

They have a handful of dumb screens, like you're describing, at Best Buy. Somehow they're thousands of dollars for a normal sized TV.
