I’ve got a 42” LG C3 as my gaming monitor. It’s connected to my network so that I can stream content from my plex server. Anybody know if there’s a way I can cut the TV’s access to the internet, to avoid updates etc., while still maintaining access to the home network?

You can root it and then there's tools. https://rootmy.tv/ probably won't work for you but has links.

If you manually assign it an ip and don't set a gateway address (or use an invalid one), it won't be able to leave your subnet.
