??? I got a Sharp Android TV this year and it just works without connecting

Nah. Not good enough for me. I thought I would just do that but the thing still has to boot android in order to show you the HDMI input. So it has to constantly suck power like a vampire in order to keep a SoC running, and if it loses power, it has to boot the system again.

I got a cheap TCL and it smells like burning plastic, even when its "off". I suspect it's because of that SoC constantly running.

Next time I'm buying a computer monitor instead of a smart-but-not-connected TV.
