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.

    Of course, because why wouldn’t a checkes notes entirely local operation require an internet connection?

    You can also just not attach the TV to the internet

    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.
