Not sure how relevant that is today, but likely still something to watch out for especially if you're looking for a cheaper dumb TV. Also, if you're getting a used digital signage TV, if you can try to run through some basic color and motion video tests on it before you buy it; mostly to check for burn-in and backlight quality.
Also, are there decent OLED dumb TV options available yet? I rarely watch anything on my TV, so when I do it's generally something more 'special' and I rather like the gamut that OLEDs offer for those occasions.
Every Tv in my home is paired with an Apple TV. I leave the display unconnected to the internet.
The day when TVs require an internet connection to show external inputs - that will be a sad day.
Or when they come with cellular modems.
