The smartest thing you can do with a “smart tv” is to keep it unconnected from your WiFi and instead plug a Raspberry Pi into one of the HDMI ports and use that for your YouTube etc needs.
No but my point is that if you keep your “smart TV” offline you don’t need to worry about any of the settings on it. And that’s just aside from all of the problematic things of allowing it to connect.
But their point is that your comment doesn't have anything to do with what the article is talking about. TVs having picture settings have nothing to do with connecting it to the network.
I mean sure, but then my TV wouldn’t have VRR that was enabled with a software update. Plus a lot of TVs will just connect to an open WiFi network anyways.
