Literally no brand. A monitor plugged into a computer running whatever you want like Plex. DRM generally won’t work so… get over streaming services. An Apple TV is kinda OK but they advertise themselves.
Or simply a smart TV with no internet. Like the real obvious answer without overengineering it. You’re too narrow minded. Hell, even with Internet if you wanna get into overengineering, it’s simple enough to block on your own network. Many TVs have image processing which can make crappy look good and can even make a cheap computer setup look better if you can’t afford the graphics cards.
Honestly, it’s like you found one answer and just assumed it’s the only one. No one is saying your solution doesn’t work for some people. Just that it wasn’t what the person asked.

we must destroy DRM
I mean, this is an answer to an entirely different question. It doesn’t answer their question at all.
It very well could be a good answer to some question, but not this one.
And to answer their question, any TV is generally ok as long as you don’t connect it to the internet.
And come on, a monitor? Some of us like large screens. Sometimes your solution isn’t the best for someone else.
You can buy a non-tv of any size. They are often called commercial displays but it’s just a big monitor (dumb firmware).
If you want no ads it means your own software. That is a truthful answer.

I think you read too much into my response. Buying a display without a smart tv platform is a simple option. Of course it has different results.
Depends how big you want. They sell 43" computer monitors now that are just LG (or Samsung?) TVs without the bloat.
Probably a lot more expensive too. I have an LG TV larger than that and simply use it as a monitor.
A Smart TV without an Internet connection is just a monitor.
You can get a 50" monitor for under a thousand from some brands. I doubt that’s very possible for the largest monitors.
The monitor version is cheaper by quite a lot!
