so your TV doesn't bother you.

Many TVs have a constant "no wifi connection" visual error if it's not connected.

I haven't bought a TV in several years, but is this something that is in general TVs? I ask because I plan on getting one soon and would very much like to avoid it having a mic

I can’t speak for all TVs of course, but from what I have seen, yes.
