    Don’t connect it to the web. Keep it stupid.
    Steer clear of Samsung. Sometimes I needed Internet to connect devices in a specific way.

    Specific integrations:
    Xbox 360 with no internet at TV: Just the HDMI source Xbox360 with internet at TV: Specific xbox panel to connect (with naming and branded color) + ability to wake up the device.
    Google CC with Android TV (no web): Connects as HDMI CEC device. Audio pass through was at times flakey.
    Google CC with AndroidTV (web): Connection with a CC panel and I felt like it integrated the source better (HDMI CEC + Passthrough through a soundbar).

    So Samsung probably has some specific ways to integrate a device better with internet. Basics work OOTB but internet partly makes it better.
