NEC’s are expensive so it’ll be tougher passing approval at the expense department.

This smart TV business has to end, I have a Samsung “The Frame” and it looks a lot like those NEC’s you’re mentioning. In fact, it’s the perfect conference TV. The problem is that when I keep it disconnected from the Internet, I get a message on screen every time I power it off. I’m going to try changing the region to a more internet-sparse region to see if that helps.

Maybe you could give it your wifi password and block all traffic at the router?
