Seriously... Like just don't connect it to the Internet? I dont know how it works when you don't have a PC though, it's easy for me to say don't connect it because my PC is what gets the data im watching. Maybe these people only have a smart TV so that they can watch streaming services with it.
Absolutely this. I'm lucky enough to have access to commercial & hospitality displays. Great picture quality and longevity with none of the forced online nonsense.
