Problem is, it's not. And turning it on is slow. Changing channels is also slow. I'm not picky or principled at all when it comes to TVs, I just want it to work without pissing me off by taking forever to do stuff, and they're failing the test. My old TVs were always fine.
Also, my last smart TV bricked itself, which I'll write off as me being unlucky but it probably wouldn't have happened with a dumb one. When I was shopping for a replacement and asked the BestBuy employee if they have any dumb TVs, he said he gets that question a lot, and no. So I don't think I'm a weirdo for wanting one.
- Hikikomori 4y agoIPtv will be slower than analog as you need to request the channel when switching.
- hot_gril 4y agoI meant regular cable TV over coax. (Included in my apartment rent, and occasionally I want to watch sports.)
- arcticbull 4y agoA lot of smart TVs turn all the way off by default but have a quick power on setting buried in there that uses a bit more power when not on.
- hot_gril 4y agoNot mine, unfortunately.
