How often does it nag you to say yes, while using it as a dumb TV? are all features usable in that mode? I may need to rethink a Vizio if that's the case and not annoying.

Mine only does that if I accidentally hit the TV+ button on the remote. So I took the remote apart and disconnected that button from the board. Problem solved.

Otherwise it turns on quickly and it's just a dumb tv. Perfect.

It's never nagged me as far as I can remember, and changing input and volume work fine (though it always stays silent on HDMI 1 with EARC).

Of course, none of the "smart TV" things work, and it's not connected to a network, but I don't need those.
