On a previous TV my folks owned, there was this annoying auto brightening/darkening setting you actually COULDN'T turn off without accessing the secret engineer's menu. Newer TVs have AI-powered picture smoothening that makes anything shot at 24 FPS look jumpy and horrid. And on the current model we own for watching pirated Blu-Rays on, there is an aspect ratio setting, but ONLY for 4:3 and 16:9, not 1:85:1, meaning every movie we watch is slightly stretched vertically with nothing we can do about it.
You also had way more control over the picture.

At this point if you don't need the full on TV experience it might be worth to just buy a big display...
