No.

Smart TV's run automatic content detection on all their inputs. You will also be nagged to put the device online relentlessly, and some models will not let you skip internet connectivity.

Which manufacturers specifically will do this? Other comments seem to think LG is ok. Genuinely curious if anyone has experience.

Someone should make a wall of shame for the worst offenders.

I wish I knew, but the ad industry LOVES this tech: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=smart+tv+ACR&t=ffab&ia=web Every other result is "How ACR is going to be awesome for advertisers/marketers". the ones in between are "How to shut off ACR" :-/
