Recently bought a new LG. I have not connected it to the network and have it set to automatically return to the last input on startup rather than go to the home screen. May as well just be a really big monitor at this point, which is perfect. I never see the LG interface and it never prompts me for anything.
I would first have a conversation to find out if selling is something they’d be open to. If they aren’t interested in selling, you might see if they’d be open to doing a deal where you pay them a fee for right of first refusal. That way if they ever do decide they want to sell, you will get first crack at it.
