If you are looking for a "dumb" TV, check out models that are for "digital signage" like the Samsung BEC-H series. They are as dumb as you can get while still buying new.

I expose quite a few services to the web, so having that extra layer of protection is nice. And it allows me to control what leaves my network from an application perspective, not just TCP/UDP
ZenArmor. It integrates nicely with Opnsense and offers all of the features that I was looking for.
I run a pretty hefty home lab, so my costs are fairly high compared to some.

I used to use Booksonic, and it worked pretty well. I've since switched to Audiobookshelf, and it's been great. Client/server works pretty smoothly, and I haven't really had any problems with it.
We use RoyalTS and I've been very happy with it. I've used mRemoteNG and Mobaxterm in the past, and there really isn't much that would have me switch back. Plus, it supports plenty of other protocols besides SSH, so more of our teams can leverage it.

They really aren't that much more expensive than a high end smart TV. I've been seeing them at about $10(US) per inch. So a 60 inch TV is roughly $600(US). But I guess it all depends on availability of them in your local market.
