Just don’t put it on your home network. I have an LG C3(?) from 2018 that is a perfectly good dumb TV without the WiFi password.

A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!
