Smart tv more like fart tv

Tell me about professional displays in lieu of TVs for home use.

I'm ready to add another screen to my home, something in the 60" range. I have no use for a tv by the way people use tvs these days. I don't need or want smart apps or cable. I don't want my remote to listen to me. I don't need a DVR. I plug my tv into my computer and do absolutely everything I'm interested in doing (chiefly: watching streaming content) using my tv essentially as a big monitor.

A few months ago, probably here on mefi but I can't find it now, I read someone mention getting a professional display instead of a television to avoid all the bloat and crapola that comes with tvs these days. That appeals to me.

What should I be looking for when I search for professional displays? Or will a regular television tv be ok for me? I have seen this question--is this still true, don't connect the tv to the internet and it'll behave? I see things like this and it makes me think maybe we should just launch smart tvs straight into the sun.

I don't know anything about tv features and I don't really care that much about specs because my eyes can't tell much of difference between trash and the blackest blacks. They do not see that extra $600 worth of nits. My current tv is a 46" RCA that was already last year's model when I bought it a full decade ago, and it is still just great for my purposes. What my eyes DO care about is "ooh bigger tv" and "now that I have two tvs I can put this old tv in my bedroom."

Please do not provide advice on my home media setup, I am very comfortable with that. I simply want a big tv, the dumber the better, that will replicate my computer screen but BIGGER. I would like to spend $600-700 (or less of course but this seems reasonable based on initial research)
