Nothing at all, but I'm sure the target consumer for one doesn't post on HN.

- SyneRyder 11y agoI just bought one - I planned to get a non-smart TV, but found a Smart TV on sale for the same price. I expected to use my Chromecast for everything, but instead I'm using all the built-in Smart apps and the Chromecast very rarely. The usability of controlling everything from one remote (and even having a remote) is better, and means everyone can watch Netflix etc regardless of whether they brought a phone with a Netflix account or not.
- CaptSpify 11y agoHow long have you owned the TV though? The concern is that 3 years from now, will they still work, vs the easily replaceable Chromecast?
- russjr08 11y agoWell if it was the same price, then you could just add a chromecast or such later, and it wouldn't be a big deal. I definitely agree under normal circumstances where smart TVs are way more expensive.
- fluxquanta 11y agoI'm likely not the target consumer, but I bought my smart TV almost exactly a year ago (12/26/2014). Most of the apps that came with it don't function anymore. It seemed like every other day I would turn it on and have a message stating "Support for [feature X] will be discontinued on [date]". It's not even hooked up to the internet anymore. It, along with my phone that continues crashing and the useless smartwatch I sold, have convinced me to never buy another Samsung product.
