A friend is looking for one and I don't know what to recommend.

Assuming that the goal is to never connect it to the internet and plug in another device with HDMI.

The vast majority of TVs nowadays have really just become manufactured e-waste, mainly due to the piss poor computers they have running the "smart" features. Have a look at your local thrift store or Goodwill. You might find something there for a discount that will last a bit.

Nowadays, I probably wouldn't buy a new TV. Too much malware preinstalled even if their smart features aren't under powered. I would look instead at digital displays or larger computer monitors. It will bump the price back up to what TVs used to cost when I was younger, but at least your paying with cash instead of your privacy. Will probably last a bit longer to boot.
