    I ask because I’ve heard that some TVs brick themselves if you don’t connect to internet and wasn’t sure how common that was.

      Not an issue I’ve seen with LG at least. Their OS is bad for the reasons I mentioned (apart from perfectly good standard “dumb” TV controls), but the hardware is great.

      A TV just bricking basic functionality because it’s not on the internet would probably be grounds for a class action lawsuit here.
