Unsmart a smart TV - SDF Chatter

How standardized a lcd panels? Could I replace the controller in a smart TV with one of these HDMI to LCD controllers? https://www.ebay.com/itm/375318342725__ [https://www.ebay.com/itm/375318342725__]

Well you could not connect it to the internet…
Not anymore with sidewalk and other similar corporate networks bypassing any requirement for the consumer to connect the TV to wifi
Do these show up as networks on devices, or are they kind of hidden? I’ve looked before and never seen any open wifi around my house, but I am near a mall and lots of shopping.
They do not use wifi. They use BLE over short range, or LoRa or FSK on 900mhz over long distances. If you wanted to see them you’d probably need a scanner built specifically to find them but idk if anyone has made one.
