This is definitely on the horizon and future generations won’t even be aware of a time when you didn’t pay a subscription for every aspect of life. (TikTok screencap)

It’s not possible to “vote with your dollars” to choose a TV that doesn’t have ads, because 100% of the smart TVs have ads now.

There, FTFY.
At least Sceptre has a wide selection of dumb TVs. There are more brands if you search.

It was 100% of the TVs that RTINGS had reviewed, which was 501 different TVs, but apparently no SCEPTRE TVs at all.

Unfortunately, it looks like the SCEPTRE TVs don't get very good ratings:

HD picture quality was only decent. It did an excellent job displaying the finest detail of HD content. Color accuracy was acceptable, but below that of most models...

This model has fair sound quality with below average performance.

So, I guess there is one manufacturer who still makes dumb TVs, it's their low-end line and doesn't get good reviews, but it is a dumb tv, which is nice.
