Bonus points for buying a smart TV to get the heavily discounted price and never connecting it to the internet.

Some of the brands have been reported to not allow you to do anything until it has an internet connection to do its “initial setup” (or some such excuse).

I hope I can find a list of which ones to avoid when I have to eventually replace my old dumb TV.

Even then, you’re still having to wait for its CPU to fuck around with the image and sound before it actually outputs it,
