Bought a LG TV and a Monitor three years ago. Last time I will do that. Really happy about my decision not to let the TV have access to the internet.
Yep, mine has never reached the internet, it is connected but is blocked at the firewall so I can still hook home assistant up to it.
I was responding to his TV mention.
