Sure, if you ignore the quality and size and ignore the fact that'll it'll run without the update 🙄

Some modern TVs, like Rokus, actually won’t run without the internet connection.

Right, the edge cases. I have yet to know a single person to have this happen but I'm sure it does.

Roku tvs are currently 37% of the American market according to numbers I found through a quick search. Last I heard LG, Amazon/Fire, and Samsung also required an internet connection/account for setup. Only Google TVs from my research (regardless of brand) have a dumb tv option at this time.

I wouldn’t call that an edge case.
