Strong agree. I would pay more for a non-smart tv. They're probably all smart these days, aren't they? Ugh.
I don't care, really. I'm going to just use the inputs on the TV with whatever peripheral I plug into it anyway.
If it has to be updated to be used in the first place then I'll update it, disconnect it from the internet, block it at the router level and then use it as a monitor, which it is.
We shouldn't have to do this, but, the world sucks, so... shrug
Thankfully it is easy to not connect them. The newest TV I bought I connected it once via Ethernet during setup to get the latest software, then unplugged it. Has been working fine for a year with no issue.
