Gotta love how companies can remove features after you've bought them. Should be grounds for being eligible return imo

That’s not what he asked. You still pay extra money for smart features that you do not use this way.

From what I've seen dumb TVs are usually a few hundred more than a smart TV with similar specs. In fact, I've looked in the big box stores near me and can't even find dumb TVs. Even the crappy 32-inch 720p $200 Hisense is a smart TV.

So, I should have said " You still pay extra money for smart features that you do not use this way. And then to remove them".

You often pay less money because of the ads the manufacturers can shove down your eyeballs.

So yes, you don't need the features, but if they subsidize the rest of the device this way I can live with it.

Just keep it off the net.
