I do want speakers (although also the possibility to connect external speakers) and multiple inputs, though, as well as controls for picture settings such as overscan, aspect ratio, YIQ->RGB->RGB matrix, backlight control, etc. But I don't want all of the other "smart TV" stuff, and I don't want excessive software to get it to work, slow software, etc.
My 8 year old Samsung Serif TV is running as good as new, it does have Wi-Fi and an app store but I've never had to use it, my Apple TV controls it over HDMI ARC and I never see any interface other than that. No ads, tho I'd be wary of performing a firmware update.
If it has wireless transmission (by Wi-Fi or others, whether or not that feature is activated) then that is something that I would not want it to have.
