When I wrote about phones "Mass market is demanding products nonsensically thin to the detriment of other properties, because it was told to. It could be told otherwise." I got laughed off. That the market isn't going to serve my fancy preferences.
But this is the same thing, the market is repeatedly told to ask for smart devices, even when dumb TV is all the users need.
- okr 6y agoSeems like, there are a lot of opinions out there. I often hear, what i can do on my phone i also want to see on tv. May it be playing music, movies, series, etc.. So a seamless integration from the start without another device like apple tv is a plus. Same happens to screen in cars.
- fxtentacle 6y agoIn cars, you usually just connect your phone with a cable. I would be happy to connect my phone to a TV and then just have it mirror the screen.
- jpindar 6y agoSome phones have HDMI out.
- kmlx 6y agoi disagree. i think that age has passed and tvs without the netflix app will simply not be bought. for myself, having no 4k hdr, no netflix, apple tv, youtube, bbc, and many others is a deal breaker when it comes to buying a new tv.
- JohnBooty 6y agoYou're being downvoted, but I think you're right. Personally, I would pay more for a TV without this functionality. I'm running one of the last "dumb" consumer TVs, from 2015. But the overwhelming majority of consumers just want smart TV stuff built right into their TVs. It's like power windows and air conditioning in cars. They used to be premium features. Now, you really can't buy a car without them, at least in the USA. (Pedantry note: As late as ~2014, you could still buy a Nissan Versa with manual windows; perhaps it's still possible)
