I just purchased a 55" 4K LG TV from Costco for under $400 out the door. The TV's sole purpose is to display an Apple TV's output, and will not be connected to the internet. Interestingly, it has AirPlay and Homekit built-in, but that's largely irrelevant due to the Apple TV.
This TV is replacing a 46" ~10yo Samsung purchased for over 1.1k that has very basic "Smart" capabilities like playing MKV files from a USB drive and network, which in my opinion is when smart TVs peaked.
- mav3rick 7y agoIt's probably an edge lit TV. FALDs are more expensive.
- ProfessorLayton 7y agoArray LED backlighting can be had for under $500. I purchased a 55" 4k Vizio for under $500 3 years ago which I promptly returned when the included remote did not let me adjust the TV's settings, they expected me to download an app. My only criteria for the replacement TV is that it have better picture quality than the 10yo Samsung it is replacing.
- jmkni 7y agoI know that Ethernet over HDMI is a thing, I wonder, if the device you are plugging into your smart TV is connected to the internet, could the TV piggyback of that for an internet connection? Maybe not right now, but when smart TV manufacturers realize people just aren't connecting them to the internet, might they push Sony/Apple etc to implement such a thing.
