No way I'm connecting any smart TV to the internet.

I'll externalize the "smart" part, thank you very much.

Unfortunately sometimes it's needed. LG f*cked up with their 2025 lineup of OLED TVs, cause they all had terrible artifacts when displaying HDR10 material. They fixed it after a few firmware updates. But one of the latest ones installed a mandatory MS Copilot app that you cannot remove... :/

You can update using a USB drive. No need to plug it to the internet.
