Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I was hoping for something more like an alt-OS for the TV, so it doesn't ask for updates all the time or really do anything besides cast from a computer or console
Fun fact: all these smart TVs run Linux, which is supposed to facilitate that, but they're DRM'd to prevent it instead. There are active lawsuits going on about it.

Ah, yeah, for that, just factory reset it, don't connect it to the internet on setup and use HDMI.
My wife likes to cast YouTube from her phone
Could that work if you connect it to LAN but don't allow it to communicate outside of your network?
I'm 99% sure "casting" a website just opens that site on the device and gives you remote control. It gets the data through the WAN, not your phone.
With how laggy and horrible casting is, for me, I can confidently say that's not how my TV works
An alternate less useful answer might be looking up TVs marked as "commercial displays". They are a less consumer marketed display.
