Yeah as others have said, the TV can't get online by itself, so you simply don't configure the "Smart" features and it should work just fine (although perhaps that is something to confirm before purchase).


IIRC, some will attempt to get online by themselves by connecting to open access points, but I don't have a source for that.


Yes someone else linked to a story where TVs were hopping onto open Wifi, but honestly if a TV I owned ever did that, I would probably toss it and boycott that manufacturer forever.


Eh, some do nag about not setting it up, and if this Chinese model is representative of the future [1], the ads may be built-in anyways.
