When setting up the TV, don't connect it to a network (wired or wireless) and skip all the parts that ask you to log in or setup anything related to a network. If you have already setup the TV thinking you had to setup all that stuff, there is an option to reset the TV back to factory defaults. Do that, then go through the setup again how you want to. I am using my 2 TVs as computer monitors and both work just fine without any smart features. They function simply as displays. Nothing else. I have a PS4 connected to one of the monitors that I use that for any streaming for when I want to do that. For those curious, enable 'game mode' on the displays to reduce the input lag response to 10.2 milliseconds. See the review on www.rtings.com.
Sorry, there was a problem.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is simple. Don't connect it. If you don't plug in an Ethernet cable, or connect it to Wi-Fi, it can't send anything. You can also turn off the Wi-Fi radio on the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The smart features have to be tuned on, the TV does not automatically connect to the internet. It would need to be set up to for it to do so.
