[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 772043, member: 1447"] I have a LG smart TV but i dont use a single smart feature because i just use the TV purely as a screen - since i prefer my functionality to come from the source units why this is a better system to operate with is that if the functionality of the TV gets outdated or stops working you dont have either a screen or a source - so in the way i use it - if the source stops working i can just replace it and i still have a screen - im not in for a large expense given my sources are pretty much cost effective media players and cheapish PC units .... which when configured properly can do pretty much more than the smart TV O/S can manage to do and far more efficiently the only time im in for an expensive TV replacement is when the resolution doesnt cut it anymore or if my current TV breaks in a manner that isnt fixable .... otherwise im covered for far more functionality that can be provided by just a "Smart" TV while many people may think that i would be surprised by what most modern smart TVs can do .... I have been through what mine does and theres not a single thing that isnt covered by one of my other sources ... as minor examples, my PC is better at browsing the internet and with Kodi installed is a better media and music player and my media player is able to playback 3D movie files that no TV will manage to etc, etc, etc - so i would rather spend more money on the quality of the screen instead of more smart functionality just my :2c: worth [/QUOTE]
