    Honest question how do we stream from Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, etc without connecting to the internet? Also, most of those stream require a recognized device to stream over 1080p. So basically, if you get a new TV wouldn’t you be operating it as a old TV on those terms? The alternative that I see is keeping all that you want to watch at 4k in Jellyfin or Emby (don’t use Plex it is just pushing ads) but you will need to maintain a library.

      That’s what I meant by “never connect it to the internet and plug in a more trusted device”, whether that’s a Chromecast or your PC you can always plug in something else you trust more than the TV. Obviously finding something you can trust that does everything you want is another story.
