so far i've been between simply buying a projector, im assuming those havent been smartified yet.

Or buying a big format display, i think those still exist, i hope they do at least.

Presumably you could probably mutilate a smart tv to properly disable it's functionality, but im not electrical engineer so don't ask me.

Possibly dumb question but can you use a Projector during the day these days?

My TV is in my living room. Right next to 2 big windows. With 2 sliding glass doors across the room

if it's dark, or you like black looking like not black. Yes.

You should probably find a way to cover those windows so that it's dark in that room, if you were to use a projector, which thankfully, isn't very hard.

This is one of the downsides of having a projector, the darkest black that you can get, is based on the darkness of the environment you're in. Which can lead to contrast issues sometimes, but if you good light regulation, it's fine.
