TV was a gift from my wife’s dad. I wish he didnt. I already have a perfectly decent flat-screen I have hooked a computer up to.

I’m definitely expecting this at some point, but it hasn’t happened to me yet. I’ve had the TV for a couple years now.
You can also just not attach the TV to the internet, but “obviously” doing things like reordering home screen apps requires an Internet connection.
Of course, because why wouldn’t a checkes notes entirely local operation require an internet connection?
That’s what I did with the curved Samsung TV that I put in the basement for the kids. Factory reset with no internet, default input set to a specific HDMI, and a Roku (with Pi-hole handling adblocking). Roku remote also handles TV power/volume. Haven’t had any issues with it.
