What I meant is: that is the extent of non-TV business that the TV will do. There's no connecting to wifi, hence no phoning home.

A lot of times when I'm entertaining and cooking, I'll put some music on. Usually around the holidays.

My TV gets a single HDMI in, from my receiver; no wifi. Everything else gets plugged into the receiver. Everything internet related gets played from an external devices, to the receiver, to the TV.

Cause shitty TVs are known the world over for their quality sound?

Flat panel sound has gotten shittier over time. The move toward thinner and thinner units means jankier speakers.
