There is no such thing as a TV that blocks you from using it without an internet connection. I promise you there is an option to continue without connecting, unless you specifically purchased an ad-supported display that requires you to go online so it can serve you ads (and so far every TV that tried to pull that crap has failed to sell).
You're making up problems in your head again. Stop doing that.
Dunno why you'd bother gaslighting someone over this, but try harder.
Dude you're the one gaslighting. I was raised by people like you; I'm not falling for it.
Provide me just one example of such a TV, and I'll shut up. But I already know you can't.
Last LG i set up wouldn't let me change some configs without an account... which obviously requires internet. From that to requiring internet to operate is not a long stretch and no, i won't bother searching specific models just to win an internet argument with a troll.

Which LG model specifically? Because I'm a fan of LG OLEDs and I've never heard of this. It's definitely not a thing in their C and G line of TVs.
