I have an LGCX and if I hadn't connected it to the internet I would have missed out on some important software updates that significantly improved the display performance.
I guess you can toggle the internet on and off when updates are published, but it's not the most convenient solution.
Edit: But you can use a USB! Woohoo, thank you repliers!
- addaon 4y agoLG (at least for my OLED model) supports firmware updates over USB, and posts firmware updates to their website. It's a very smooth flow -- my years-old TV has never had an internet connection and is up-to-date.
- mustacheemperor 4y agoThank you, and babypuncher, for this advice! I avoid using the tvos but dislike how a parade of web connected ads pop up if I hit the dashboard button by accident. Glad I can airgap it again.
- babypuncher 4y agoYou can update the firmware on LG TVs with a USB drive, no internet required.

As Jimmy waited for a reply, as Muggs turned beet red, he again noticed how that poor nose was bent, deformed even, and did the man no favour. Muggs, anger at a peak, spat out "Twas the babypuncher, Jimmy, the babypuncher. He got me as a babe"
- silisili 4y agoMost, if not all, routers have a one click blacklist device option. Pretty easy to just unblock it once a month and check for updates? Alternatively, for something more automated, you could just use parental control 'bedtime'. I use it currently to keep the kid from watching TV at certain hours. Could probably do the inverse and block it except for an hour on a particular day, I'd imagine.
