      Some TVs listen for open networks and use those, so if there is one near you your TV could sneak out either way.

        If it doesn’t have the passphrase for wifi, how is it going to connect? I rarely see unsecured wifis around neighborhoods anymore. For copper/fiber, you’re not going to hook it up to keep it disocnnected.

          Open networks have no passphrase. Otherwise they wouldn’t be open. And yes they’re less common but it doesn’t mean you’re neighbor can’t set one up at any given time.

        So buy one that’s a little more expensive and will. It’s still going to be tons cheaper that a commercial display and offer better performance
