Looking for a 4k tv without smart functions (feddit.de)

Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

I got an LG C3, never plugged in the ethernet cable and changed the song so it starts on that last active input.
I did have to enter my postal code though, which is H0H 0H0.

Post code can be used to adjust settings for regional differences with broadcast tv reception

I'm still ok with the TV thinking I live in the North Pole

Also recently bought a C3 and can't say enough good things about it. I connected mine to wifi so I could use/control it within HomeAssistant but you can always just not connect it like you said to have a TV without the smart features.

I was worried about burn in, but after hundreds of hours of Zelda, Fae Farm, which do have static UI elements, I still haven't noticed anything.
I haven't connected it so far.

I use homeassistant a lot, but haven't connected the TV yet.
From looking at the integration, at least its not cloud bs, so I could probably block everything to and from the TV except TCP 3000-3001 with homeassistant and it could still talk locally with hass.
I've already blocked LG's ads domains, just in case I ever decide to plug it in, but denying everything except homeassistant would be nice.

Seeing Fae Farm mentioned in the wild randomly like this tickled me

I don't know that much about it, but my partner has been enjoying it, while also occasionally cursing at it.
