      My new LG didn’t require it, but the settings menu and ‘home’ screen nag about lack of connectivity.

      “Why did you buy a smart TV if you didn’t want the smart features” brother, it was the best tv in that price range and few true dumb ones exist in that range. IMO the smart features should be considered optional but I guess these companies don’t agree

      Ive had LG, Vizio, TCL, and Samsung TVs (still have all but Vizio) and haven’t ran into one that requires internet yet, not to say that some manufacturers haven’t/wouldn’t do this at some point.
