Buy smart TV. Open the back. Remove WiFi card.

Purchase cheap Chinese mini PC, put Kodi on it.

That's all you need

That's not always easy, sometimes the WiFi is on the board itself and not just an add-in card. Or you get annoying warnings or something on the TV.

Commercial TVs will probably last a lot longer than regular retail TVs, so if I'm not going to be using all the features of the TV, I might as well spend a bit more and get something that'll last.
