Isn't it done this way because your TV might not be the only thing that wants to use your nice speakers?

- mikepurvis 1y agoI guess that's true too, certainly in a living room setting if you've still got a vinyl player or whatever— but modern TVs have the audio streaming apps of course, plus they can be a cast target for anything on your phone. Maybe it also matters in a home theatre that's oriented around a projector rather than TV.
- hedora 1y agoOur bargain basement projector (for a project; it was under $100) has more smart app bs on it than the TV. I get the impression everyone eventually settles on a roku ($35, but full of spam) AppleTV (a bit over $100; better in all ways), or maybe goes with the google thing. All of those cost < 10% the price of upgrading a TV, and all of our TVs have outlasted the (incredibly shitty) software they were bundled with.
