Probably not but you can buy digital signage. You will pay upwards of $4k potentially based on your needs.
Remember when you didn't need this shit to just watch a movie?
I 'member
Seriously. Go back to the 90s, do this about anything, and Kevin mitnick will vanish from everybody's radar just about instantly.
Now we need to do this shit to fucking watch TV. I need complex filtering software, anonymization tools, and a signal bounced off three continents to watch a video of a cat climbing into a box. A video that was recorded five feet away from me.
If I want to do it on a TV, I need to start soldering and hope to fuck I don't touch the wrong capacitor.
Jeff Geerling did a whole video about you can just use a professional display. It has the option to install a raspberry pi because it's meant to be a display for a store window. This would be a good alternative but $$$.

Note: the reason TVs are cheap now is because they collect data about you. Your data is subsidizing the cost. So if that's the case how much money do they make off you that getting a non smart display costs 4k?
Less than 4k; I remember my last dumb TV cost like 700$.
are you talking about some proprietary camera that only syncs to the cloud?
No I'm talking about my roommates YouTube videos of their cat.
