      You can buy commercial televisions that have only functional software, long uptime ratings, and an absurd amount of inputs. They’re designed to be advertisement displays so they can have some lag, and some have low color accuracy, but they’re barebones workhorses.

        SCART anyone? My 2007 TV has three but they absolutely vanished in 10 years.

      Modern TV plus your streaming device. I only get home menu ads from roku. I don’t like them, but at least the apps aren’t full of ads aside from putting “continue watching” on the fifth or sixth row.
