What happens when you want to use Netflix, Amazon prime, or an external Plex server with the smart TV? You NEED internet access for those

Separate HTPC box that you trust?

My ideal TV has power and video in and nothing else. Basically a monitor. I have a separate box for content and another for input switching.

FYI you can't use an internal Plex server either. The Plex client is unable to operate without an Internet connection.
