Since it can't be LG anymore - what's a good TV screen for gaming?

    and never connect it to the internet.

    How many of them force you to connect to the internet as part of of the initial setup wizard "in order to register and enable your new tv"?

    AFAIK, some of the TVs with built in Roku have been forcing exactly that before they will allow you to do anything.

    I disagree that it can't be LG anymore since it's still a basic TV so long as you don't connect it to the internet. Use the TV as a TV and use an Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, etc to do your internet stuff.

    I called a terrible IT person for suggesting not connecting smart TVs to the network as a simple means of by passing the issue with their updates and invasion of privacy. I think it'd be easier to do that and hook up an old computer for streaming from.
