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.
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?
