Commercial displays are dumb TVs.
My Sony is smart but doesn’t care that it doesn’t have Internet connection and hasn’t tried any funny business with open networks.

I wish I could find a TV for sale that isn’t a Smart TV. It’s not necessary and you get issues like this down the road. I’m sure it isn’t too long until the other TV manufactures do the same thing.

Personally I will not give my TV internet access and never initialized Google TV on it. Seems to work fine.

Samsung smart TVs already show a small ad on the home menu.

I mean a TV is as smart as you let it be. If you don’t connect it to the internet it’ll stay dumb.

I got a shitty tcl from wallyworld for like 110 and I never put it on WiFi so I never get any ads on the home screen. DNS would prolly block them tho…
