I bought a Roku smart TV 65in like 5 years ago. Light as a feather and never gave me a minutes trouble. Think I paid like $300 for it.

Expensive large screen displays are better.
Smart TVs are privacy invasive billboards that let you watch some TV on their terms.

The more expensive it is, the more ads and spyware it will have.

They’re a little bit better if you just never connect them to the internet.

Even then you still have a bunch of cheap hardware crammed into an insufficiently ventilated box that will lead to problems down the line.
My TV is 15 years old, not very smart, thick as oatmeal, but works like a charm.

What? Cheap TVs are full of this stuff which is partially why they're so cheap.

I’m in the same boat, bought a Samsung 40-something-inch smart tv for around $300 maybe 6 years ago off the neglected “small TV” aisle. It has some bloatware, but it’s never been an issue after configuring a few settings. I’m guessing if I went for one of the floor models, it’d have been a problem.

This just doesn’t seem to click for a lot of people for some reason that I cannot explain whatsoever. I don’t even have mine connected to electricity when I’m not using it.

you don't have to use the smart bulllshit.

sorry but if you can't tell the difference between a nice OLED and an average LCD then you need your eyeballs checked.

It's still there, though.
And since it's usually one integrated board, a failure in the "bullshit" will likely affect the not-shit.

It’s not just about oled vs lcd. There’s a huge difference between backlight arrays in cheap lcds vs expensive lcds. And there’s still benefits to choosing lcd over oled. Either way, some people just don’t care about image quality. I have a friend that claims he still can’t tell the difference between dvd and Blu-ray, or 4k Blu-ray.

Mine gets put in the garage when its not being used. Microphones to record you can work on battery ppwer.

Exactly what I did. I'd get a 65" monitor if there was any. But an always offline smart TV will do.

They all have it.

this is just pure speculation. if they design the boards to cool properly during the warranty period it'll be fine after that too.

I'm still rocking a 2011 38" vizio from Costco. Does everything I need, nice and dumb, as a TV should be. A bigger and higher def TV won't bring me more happiness, so I'll be sticking with it until it quits and I can't fix it.

It might be kind of helpful for like a portion of the population. Maybe.
