Got a Sony Bravia OLED and it’s set up as a dumb TV, turns on instantly + I never see the Smart TV UI, not even a logo.
What I did was decline everything at setup, hook up to the Internet via Ethernet once to update, unplug Ethernet and set it to turn on to last input.
$2500-3500-ish, versus $3500-5k new. Steeper discounts on fully optioned models.
Saved you a click. Looks to me like deprecation is not all that dissimilar to that of optioned out Macbooks.
