Smart TVs are usually cheaper because the content providers subsidize the cost. You can always buy one and never use the built-in streaming functions. My Insignia Fire TV has a "dumb" TV option that bypasses Fire OS and goes straight to a channel and input selector. It also cost $50 less than the same model without the smart features, larger TVs tend to have a higher subsidy as well.
