I had one of these TVs for a while. I plugged it in once, via ethernet, to get any initial updates, and immediately unplugged it.
The power button on the corner of the screen then would not stop flashing and the only way to make it stop was to connect it to the internet. A strip of gaffers tape solved that problem.
These TVs are the poster child for user hostile, data mining, invasive advertising consumer tech.
