    Keep the smart TV off the network and the difference is usually minimal.

      Still takes a while to boot compared to a dumb panel.

        From standby isn’t that noticeable. Definitely a bit of a difference in cold-boot times though.

      Can’t speak for others but mine puts up big intrusive banners if you don’t connect it to the internet.

        Maybe you can trick it by using a private DNS server. Maybe someone already cracked their API and has a manual how to run your own server telling the tv „bro, everything easy“ Just google jailbreak (insert tv name) this should be a good start for digging.
