i mean, i get his point. but most of these smart devices need an internet connection for any of their smart stuff to work. so long as you don't give it your wifi pass, or wire it in, it's just going to be a dumb device.

i have a newer LG TV i use with my PC. it's just wired to my PC. at some point i connected it to internet to see how the IP Channel stuff worked on it. it would let me watch stuff for about 10 minutes before it prompted to download an app. that shit got disconnected quick. never again.

all this 'smart' stuff needs to be granted access to your network to serve ads and recommend apps. don't connect it.

I had a Sony TV that was an early 4K device. It got an update that allowed it to be 4K/60FPS compatible. So updating them isn’t all bad.

My LG OLED got an update for Dolby Vision I believe.
