I'm mostly sailing the high seas, using the tv as a giant monitor for the always-on laptop connected to it. I'm afraid of the 1984-esque "You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV" that might come after some time.

Is there a ful list anywhere of brands and models that lock non-network features behind a network connection requirement?

I've heard people complaining about some that don't let you select HDMI input without first connecting to the internet and "activating" the TV, but the model is usually not specified in those complaints.
