Don't buy LG, noted. Also, maybe buying a dumb TV with great panel and then adding android fire stick that you can manage the way you want is the way all along?
Or just buy whatever smart panel and do the same. Might as well take the subsidy from the smart panel and just leave it off your network
Mine periodically displays a wi-fi not connected overlay if it's not connected.
Connect it to WiFi but dump it in a subnet that’s not allowed to send traffic out? That’s wild though.
I'll look into that. I was considering plugging in an old wifi router without a wan connection. Which should effectively be the same outcome.
That’s diabolical
