I did a network analysis of outgoing traffic/connections from my Samsung TV. I don't have the results anymore, but with the TV sitting idle, the amount of connections was.... Staggering. Just, a lot of different connections, and I have no idea why.
Unfortunately, we use our TVs smart features so we don't have a lot of options for keeping it from doing these things.
I'm still pretty salty that it's basically special order to get a non-smart TV. You basically need to buy a commercial model to get one that doesn't have or need an internet connection to do what you need it to. I don't have that kind of money, and I don't have enough money to just throw away a TV because of this shit.
You can just not hook your TV up to the internet

That's really not what I would want. If I'm not going to use the smart features, I wouldn't want them baked into the display, it's just more shit that can go wrong that I don't need. The OSD menus are all built into whatever "smart" bullshit is included. So you have to plug it in once and a while to check for updates and whatnot so it doesn't get all fucky for no reason.
If I want a basic bitch display, I want it to be a basic bitch display. I don't want the risk or complexity of having that extra bullshit.
There are infinite number of suckers on this planet. Just call them names next time, save yourself the stress.
I have mine connected through my laptop as a second/larger monitor, but I also just don't gaf
