Does the TV work as a screen if you factory reset it then never reconnect it to the internet?

    It does. I wound up buying two new TVs because of the thing OP is talking about here. You could actually get around agreeing and then opting out by removing the TV from the network and then restoring it to factory and never reconnecting it.
