Being as smart TV software support is lacking especially long term and I would just rather run the software on a separate more powerful media server I can upgrade easily. 

 

What are some good options for non smart 4k & 8k tv's?

They don't exist. Just get a smart tv and use the smart functionality until it no longer suits your needs and then get add-ons as necessary.

Gaming Build | FreeNAS Server

In my experience the non smart tvs are from lower end brands like sceptre. (I have one) i don't recommend it. *no hdr, horrible speakers that actually give me a headache, and reliability seems to be an issue along with missing some pretty significant basic features. Like being able to set a 4:3 aspect ratio for incorrectly stretched content

I'm wondering if I could get the panels through Ada fruit industries and the encoders then ?

 

I really have no need for these useless add ons they package, it's like buying electronics with bloatware. 

 

Maybe the commercial displays don't have the useless add-ons?
