    As reddig33 mentioned, reset the TV and don’t connect it to the internet. Buy a Google TV or Apple TV device of some kind, set the TV to that HDMI channel and use it instead of what’s built-in.

    Some recommended options for Google TV devices:

    • Best:
      • Nvidia Shield TV Pro
        • Google/Android Ecosystem
        • Although released in 2019, this is still the king and top option to get
    • Better:
      • Google TV Streamer (4K)
        • Google/Android Ecosystem
      • Walmart onn 4K Pro Streaming Device, Google TV with Gemini (NEW 2026 Model)
        • Google/Android Ecosystem
      • Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (newest model)
        • Amazon Fire Ecosystem
      • Apple TV 4K
        • Apple Ecosystem
    • Good:
      • Walmart onn 4K Streaming Device, Google TV with Gemini (NEW 2026 Model)
        • Google/Android Ecosystem
    • Bare Minimum:
      • Amazon Fire TV Stick HD (newest model)
        • Amazon Fire Ecosystem
      • onn 4K Streaming Device
        • Google/Android Ecosystem

    Hope this helps.

      I can vouch for the quality of the Shield TV Pro, except they did put some ads on the home screen in the past couple years when they had their first big update in a long time if not ever. It does come with a steeper price tag, but for me it was worth it.

          I’ll have to give this a try. Honestly, I watch 90% of my media on my computer these days, but I do get to the TV occasionally, and my wife uses it. This looks nice and clean.
