I have a smart TV which includes a browser. (An LG running WebOS, as
it happens.) It can, of course, display video streams from a given

display on a Debian computer which streams its contents out as a live
video stream on some nice port, and which X or Wayland or whatever
sees as an extra display in xrandr or Gnome Settings>Displays or
whatever.
The dream:
- on Debian box, run /usr/local/bin/virtual-display -size 1920x1080 -port 8888 &
- on TV, browse to http://192.168.0.246:8888
- go to Gnome Settings>Displays and enable/configure the new display
- enjoy extra screen without dog chewing HDMI cable
Bonus points for getting pulseaudio to have a new sink that sends
audio output to the outgoing stream.

You may serve media files to the TV. I also have an LG smart TV with
webOS and used the debian gerbera package to serve media files. I was
unable to use the tv remote for fast forward, etc, only mute audio and
pause seemed to work. gerbera won't provide the virtual display you seek.
Hope this helps.
