I own a "smart" TV (solely because none of the shops in my area sold dumb ones) but have never connected it to the Internet and never installed any software updates (nor do I ever intend to). It remains a screen. I use an Apple TV and another set-top box from my internet provider for streaming.
- spear 5y agoSome TVs deliver features they've promised through updates. My 2018 Sony needed an update to support Dolby Vision. More recent models needed updates for HDMI 2.1 support. There are also bugs that get fixed through updates. (HDMI CEC is notorious for this -- an update might fix something but break something else.)
