    You should maybe connect it once for update. At least check firmware update changelogs to see if anything is relevant.

    I have an LG and experienced a weird picture problem for over a year… it was infuriating. Firmware update fixed it.

        Well then i would need to make sure the new screen has the latest firmware.

        I dont think connecting my tv to the internet for 5mins is the end of the world. I’m not THAT paranoid

        Although i noticed that the tv made 100 dns requests the moment it connected
