Recently had to buy a new TV due to a lightning strike (surge protector did nothing) and I never let my new "smart" TV communicate with the internet and it becomes a "dumb" TV and I feel pretty good about that.
The annoying thing is that even without it connected to the internet, it's still slowed down by the OS. I did the same and it's still not as responsive to things like switching inputs as the projector I was using before it.
