Networking turned off.
Big LG in the living room that has all the networking turned off. I turn it on about once a year to get software updates and turn it back off. Easy enough to do.
The two Vizio sets have networking turned off permanently. No updates.
One old Phillips that doesn’t like going through a router anyway. Network turned off.
Don’t want all the “Smart” TV stuff, and I know they report back. Vendors don’t have “need to know”.

How abut the You Tube app. It looks good on a large TV.
