I bought a TV recently and "didn't connect it to the WiFi", but guess what it does? If can't connect to the internet for a certain period of time, it desperately wants to display a "Internet Connection Error" message that puts the entire display into a state where CEC doesn't work, so the whole damn thing is useless.

- bradgessler 4y agoVizio M65Q6
- ian-g 4y ago> Vizio Well there's your problem (paraphrased from someone who used to work for them)
- bradgessler 4y agoYeah, it’s sad all the answers to this problem are some form of victim shaming.
- rendall 4y agoI am frankly surprised they do not all do this, and predict they all will. There will be no "don't connect it to the internet" nor even "use a pie hole" solutions possible, because the manufacturers will intentionally block them
- logi2mus 4y agoUse monitor and smart TV dongle?
- mtrower 4y agoYou have an 80” monitor solution?

- mtrower 4y agoI think this is probably a valid solution in many cases. However, it is not a computer monitor, which is the explicit item at question here.
- seemaze 4y ago80” is a marketing solution in search of a problem. Read a book.
- mtrower 4y agoBooks are a marketing solution in search of a problem. Watch a movie. …convincing, isn’t it?
- mmcgaha 4y agoMy TV is a 43" HP Monitor. Some things just don't work right. The Roku cannot turn off the display like it could my old television. Since the monitor has no speakers, I have to use a soundbar but the Roku remote cannot adjust the volume so I have to use two remotes. None of this is a big deal to me but it is not seamless.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoI have a Roku Ultra LT, and the remote has an IR blaster. I have it control TV power and sound bar volume via IR just because it's more reliable than CEC. It is seamless for me. Perhaps you could upgrade to the higher end remote?
