I have connected my TV to the Internet a few times just to update the firmware. Then I turned it right back off again. Not sure if this was actually a great call or not, but I couldn’t help myself. Probably should’ve checked to see if I could do it with a USB drive at least lol.
At least on my TV, I’ve had firmware updates enable things like variable refresh rate, enable 4K/120Hz, improve the dynamic contrast performance, and fix a couple of weird bugs it had shipped with.
last firmware update I performed for my TV removed features, including the ability to see what resolution and framerate the set was currently displaying.

Genuinely curious, what new features did that updated firmware have that were valuable to you?
