I use an adblocking DNS on my router (pihole can also work), and I haven’t seen any ads on my 2023 Samsung TV (the TV interface itself).
Edit: Also wanted to add that a quick search can get you a list of samsung domains to block on your router/pihole to stop ads and tracking. I have around 10 samsung domains on my block list. Note that it might break the samsung tv function.
I feel like it would be easier to block all traffic to/from the TV and just connect a device to HDMI (not that that will stop them, haven’t some smart TVs already been caught just connecting to any unsecured wireless network?)
This is what I do. I have an Nvidia Shield, which does show ads on its default interface, but you can install new ones (or root the device if you’re techy enough).
TV itself has never been connected

This. But also my apps stopped working and I have let the tv update every once in a while.
