  My new LG didn’t require it, but the settings menu and ‘home’ screen nag about lack of connectivity.

  Ive had LG, Vizio, TCL, and Samsung TVs (still have all but Vizio) and haven’t ran into one that requires internet yet, not to say that some manufacturers haven’t/wouldn’t do this at some point.
