MODERATORS
If you're concerned about this, you may want to consider buying a commercial display, which is basically just a giant monitor. They're meant for businesses and hospitals, so they're going to be expensive. Many brands such as LG and Samsung sell commercial displays.
Anothet alternative is to buy a projector. Projectors offer a much more "cinematic" experience, and they can be cheaper in comparison to commercial displays. Although there are a few projectors that have smart (anti-)features, most of them lack these. For a projector, I recommend the BenQ HT2060. It's confirmed to have no smart features, and supports HDR.
Another alternative is don’t connect your TV to the internet.
I've always wondered if smart TVs have some other way to phone home with your info in lieu of a WiFi connection like SIM cards or LoRa solutions.
