  I believe more and more TVs require network connection for setup.

    I used an Ethernet cord for what they made me set up, then unplugged that and have never connected it again.

  They will still have those garbage “smart” menus.

    What are garbage smart menus that can’t be avoided?

    I’m not being funny. I’m still on a Panasonic last gen thin plasma FHD but thinking of upgrading to a LG C5 OLED when they are on final sale when this year models are rolling out. I’m only watching movies through the box connected to it.

      Android TV is absolute garbage. It’s horrible to use with a remote, is full of ads, and is somehow sluggish on a 1.5GHz quad core.

  I usually do this but would still prefer a dumb TV, mainly to reduce the possible points of failure
