     @loke this.

     Plus, if the device has WiFi and if your neighbor has an open network, who's to say that the TV won't auto-connect?

     For your convenience, of course.

     I would be begrudgingly fine with a *physical* switch that would disable "smart" crap, though.

     @ghostdancer @sv1 @rysiek @djsundog true. That's what I did with my old TV. But at the same time, it's kind of a matter of principle.

     @ghostdancer @loke @rysiek @djsundog These commercial displays are quite expensive and sometimes come loaded with crap (Teams, anyone?).
     I ended up with a 'smart' TV-screen + RPi4, the TV has no network - and to be sure, the firewall in the router has rules to eliminate any requests coming from such a device.

     @sv1 That's a cheaper option, just don't turn the smart tv part on . @loke @rysiek @djsundog

     @loke From what I read some time ago that someone was looking for something like that IIRC they ended with a commercial display, like the ones in the shops and stations, and a receiver/decoder connected to it, it was almost impossible to get a high end TV without the "smart" part. @rysiek @djsundog

     @rysiek @djsundog I'm in the market for a new TV as well, and I wonder if there exists a 4K, HDR TV that is not smart.

     I've been casually looking around, and so far not much luck. I was even looking for the kind of commercial grade stuff, but those are generally not HDR.
