Its an old LG, but given the recent light on the lengths they'll go to spy on us, I figured this guy was better off without any ability to even connect wirelessly. Don't know if the Ethernet still works but I plan on keeping my TVs as dumb as possible, HDMI only.

If you're wondering how to open lg TVs you just have to remove all the screws then start pulling open at the bottom and open the clips going up. With the TV face down on a soft surface just keep pulling on the back case from the bottom, it'll take some effort to pop open. The top edge folds open more like a hidge than clips.

Heads up, modern TV's likely use an SoC (System on a Chip) which combine many if not all of the required parts for a "computer", usually including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

It will likely not be this easy with modern TV's.

Though clipping/shorting the antenna lines may still be an option. Or if it's a PCB based antenna, cutting the traces.
