Thanks, I had forgotten/missed those but it's probably a given they all 
do.  Vizio has the added problem that firmware updates are not manual - 
the TV has to be connected to the internet and will at some point 
download the update.  I don't know about LG but I think Samsung supports 
USB updates, so at least the TV could be forever isolated, but I still 
don't like it.  An off-brand dumb monitor shipped from Korea is sounding 
more appealing!
