I’m mostly sailing the high seas, using the tv as a giant monitor for the always-on laptop connected to it. I’m afraid of the 1984-esque “You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV” that might come after some time.

I wish dumb TVs were more available. I have a Samsung and I mainly use their interface to swap HDMI inputs - though the built in Spotify app has a better screensaver.
My main issue is that good screens in large formats, like the latest OLEDs aren’t really available in dumb TVs.
Aren’t smart TVs basically dumb TVs when they’re offline?
As soon as I switch inputs they are at least for me.
They might nag you about connecting.
Not really on the two smart ones in owned. Lg and Samsung.
I would certainly check before purchasing, in the age of ad-financed TVs.
