Commercial displays are not tvs. Quite often the refresh rate is terrible and you cannot watch action movies on it, because it was designed to show static billboard ads.
If it doesn’t have the passphrase for wifi, how is it going to connect? I rarely see unsecured wifis around neighborhoods anymore. For copper/fiber, you’re not going to hook it up to keep it disocnnected.
Open networks have no passphrase. Otherwise they wouldn’t be open. And yes they’re less common but it doesn’t mean you’re neighbor can’t set one up at any given time.
Start buying commercial displays. Cost more but will be about as close to a dumb tv. You will have to provide your own smart device for apps …

Or hear me out… Just don’t give it an internet connection.
Some TVs listen for open networks and use those, so if there is one near you your TV could sneak out either way.
open the back of the TV, locate the arial on the board and scratch away the traces leading to it.

Cheaper TV’s sometimes won’t function without one.
So buy one that’s a little more expensive and will. It’s still going to be tons cheaper that a commercial display and offer better performance
This is what I did. Works fine for my needs. My older relatives hate it but they rarely come over.
