Bought a LG TV and a Monitor three years ago. Last time I will do that. Really happy about my decision not to let the TV have access to the internet.
Yep, mine has never reached the internet, it is connected but is blocked at the firewall so I can still hook home assistant up to it.
Good luck finding a brand NOT doing it by the time you're ready for a new one.
Yeah fist time I saw an ad on my smart monitor I reset it and never connected it to my wifi again
What's the point of a smart monitor? It's connected to a PC. The PC is smart.
