Been thinking about TV upgrades, probably looking at 65". However, I don't want a smart TV as I prefer to access everything I need through my HTPC, I don't want to mess about with ARC either. So does anyone sell UHD TVs without all the apps and crap on them?

Good luck..... The TV business model is no longer in the hardware it's the smart services and advertising.

Maybe buy a commercial unit? My work has a number of 75" Samsung's which don't appear to have smart services. Albeit I did hear these were blinking expensive

Just buy a Smart TV & don't use the features. I plugged my Humax Freeview box into HDMI 1 & use just that to watch & record. I can even turn the TV on & off using the Humax remote so the TV remote isn't touched.

Audio Return Channel.

Do Panasonic Business still offer panels akin to the good old days of their popular business plasma panels eg PW6?
