> Does that time the TV believes it is matter? I don't have a great use case in mind.

It does if I want to see what the time is and I don't have my watch on.

If you are using everything coming through HDMI from a (presumably smart) device, why would you care to get that info from the TV?

Because the smart device doesn't give me that info, at least not in a way that I've found.

I don't consider this a huge issue, for years I'd been using my PC's monitor instead of this TV; it never had any idea about what time it was.
