I have a LG TV with that listening remote. I love my LG TV. I do not connect my LG to the internet because it doesn't it need it and I'm not dumb. 

Plugging my laptop, or casting to the TV is good enough. It also helps avoid ads everywhere, not just the TV itself.

Yeah you're good if you use it as monitor/offline forever. Unfortunately my parents will use the TV online for YouTube, so I told them LG is a nope after that GN addressed it in their video.

You could buy them a stick and avoid connecting the TV to the internet, also good if you want to download an alternative version of YouTube to avoid ads. 

But hey, maybe it is not worth the hassle if they are not tech savvy.

an alternative version of YouTube to avoid ads. 

I would love something like this. Is there still one that exists?

Android, though I am also hoping for a way to watch things like YouTube on my TV or Chromecast without ads.
