Personally I would not consider connecting a TV to the internet. Aside from usability factors, it's hard to assess security (therefore the TV-ware has to be assumed a hazard), there's little transparency into what it's doing, update mechanisms are sketchy at best. Most new models, it seems, have the so-called "smart" features, but it's harmless if you don't connect it. I just use a TV as a big monitor - plug in a PC and use a wireless keyboard from the comfy sofa. More curious is why the TV and monitor categories haven't converged. Eventually I predict, they will, when demand for OTA tuners fades and "cord cutting" (as the cable TV industry calls it) goes to higher percentages.
