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.

Then right back to the store it goes and labelled as defective so it gets tossed resulting in losses for all companies involved.

Of course, but that’s a lot more effort than it should be.
