I think the Smart TV features should be built into a set-top box rather than the TV itself, and the TV should be used as just display. Think about 5 years from now, when you are not quite ready to upgrade your TV, but your "smart tv" is now incapable of the current features. The more expensive a product is, the slower the rate of innovation (ex cars, TVs, appliances..)
- JulianMiller520 15y agoI agree. I'm a firm believer that the TV itself should remain fairly stupid while the peripherals get smart. I love that i can hypothetically pop a roku stick into my carry on and make my hotel TV smart for the duration of my stay.
- acheron 15y agoThat's my position too -- bought a new TV recently, and made sure to look for a "dumb" TV, since I'd rather have all those features separately. We're probably in the minority though; more people would rather have "all in one" machines.
