      As if I’m going to sit at a desk with a tiny-ass monitor when I could relax on the sofa with my cats and play some video games in surround sound.

          But that’s also a smart TV ridden with ads, a sluggish UI and a boot time slower than the average ad break, then ugh

            Don’t connect it to the internet. It ain’t that hard bud. I got a 5 year old LG CX and it’s still fast and snappy.

              Somewhat, but some will constantly complain that they’re not connected and/or you did not register them and link them to an account. You can set them up and then remove them from the network, but that won’t stop them from complaining. Combine that with sluggish UI (or a UI that’s only usable when you wait for the network timeout)

                Mine doesn’t do that. All you have to do is not agree to the terms of service agreements. It will still allow you to update the tv and you get zero pop ups. At least this is how it works with LGs. Don’t spread misinformation like that because none of that is true for most high end smart TVs. A cheap Walmart TV probably does that.
