    Newer "smart" sets, particularly from Vizio and a couple other brands, will not let you exit the setup or use the inputs without an internet connection

      Wow, I would immediately return any TV that pulled that bs. I have used Sony TV's for a very long time and have never encountered this issue, I even bought a new one in summer 2022 and it did not require Internet connection to function.

      LTT reviewed a Roku one like that recently and for some reason didn't recommend immediately binning it.
