    Maybe but most consumers, but I’m not. I don’t have a smart toaster or fridge or even tv (I bought a dumb panel, it was cheaper). I honestly hate all of that so called smart bs. “Smart” tvs take longer to turn on than my dumb panel. And cost more. For features I literally don’t want.

    But yeah, to each their own!

      Its hard to find a non smart TV these days. Its present even in the cheapest TV at the retail outlet.

      How long ago did you buy a dumb panel to even be able to find one? Only dumb panels I’ve found have been PC monitors.

      Once you start shopping for LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, etc everything is a smart TV. And lot of people buy TVs based on specs like HDR quality, latency, and frame output and those TVs usually come as a smart TV whether you want it or not.
