How "usually" is this, actually? I bought an LG TV about a year ago, and it did not force me to connect to the Internet. I just turned it on, skipped the crap, and it works fine over HDMI.


Can confirm that both Samsung and LG cheap LCD panels (~$400) that I got this year do not force a network setup and work without it.


I set up a TCL Roku TV in 2019 for my parents; it presented no option to skip connecting to WiFi.


During guided setup, it will scan for wireless networks, but one option is always "I do not want to connect" where the TV continues in unconnected mode.
