That means you don't get any of the benefits of it being a smart TV. Which is fine, but unlike a washing machine there are actually obvious benefits for a smart TV.

Yeah except you can't really find a TV without the "smart" features anymore and I already have an echo cube thingy that does the smart stuff lol. So in my case it's not really a waste to leave it off. My other TV is connected to the internet and I can't even go to the gd settings page without being bombarded with ads it's super dumb
