They make it hard to activate the TV without joining a network.

Last I checked it was mainly Samsung that did this. I've been buying 4K TVs as a monitor for about a decade now. I tried to upgrade to Samsung 42" a few years ago. After a couple hours of trying with no luck, I looked it up online and found people complaining about the same thing. The model I purchased had zero way of being used without first connecting it to the internet. Turns out that TV was one of the models that Samsung could remotely brick. I returned it immediately after.
