A year or so ago I bought a Hisense 65U88KM, which comes with Google TV. During the setup procedure it asked me if I wanted to enable the "smart" features, such as Google TV, the camera and microphone, or connect it to a network. I said no to all of them, and that was that.
Now it just acts as a dumb screen for my Apple TV box.
