I'm not totally sure I want my TV to have this "feature".

Since these do, by all means shut off the looted TVs though.

Buy 'dumb' tvs, or hook up a monitor to your computer with some wired speakers.

It's becoming rare to find a dumb tv in a real world store. I may have to aim for a computer monitor when my current tv craps out, if I can find one with decent port access. Hopefully "smart" never comes to monitors.

Stop watching TV. Don't need to buy one.

Game consoles need some kind of tv. The hardware doesn't necessitate a habit of sitcom viewing.

a smart monitor would be redundant. but Apple does get idiots to pay 3x more for stuff.

I guess the HDR monitors are kind of "smart"? Proprietary tech to connect to proprietary tech.

Is it a coincidence that houses not in a ghetto cost 3x more?
