Personally, I prefer to buy a non smart TV and connect the TV to a TV box.
By this way: I would save costs on the TV and find more flexibility playing with the TV box ( I am using MI TV box )
I think the non smart TV more robust, but correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.

Non-smart TV seems difficult to find so I just buy any suitable TV. I use AppleTV, SVCloud & Unifi TVBox.

I prefer basic TV, with no android or camera.

And use TV box because it is cheap and can be replaced easily.

Basic tv cannot find so no choice but use Google TV built in.

I use such TV so far oka la no need to use Chromcast/Apple TV until it start to perform badly.

get smart tv with android google (chromecast)
Sideload free live streaming apps. Free worldwide and astro live channel. No need evpad, svi cloud
Can connect your phone to the tv, for youtube and remote
No need extra plug/hdmi for external tv box, just switch on one plug can operate everything
don't take LG or something that are not using android, you have limited apps to install
