- It cheaper to buy a ROKU or at worst an Apple TV and it going to be cheaper than the extra you will pay for a smart TV. I picked up a HD ROKU for $38, most big box shops are going to charge you that for a HDMI cable.
- There is more to go wrong. The more complex a TV has the more components that can go bad.
- It is highly unlikely that once you buy that TV the vendor going to update the firmware. So those new services are likely never going to be available for your TV.
- Your cable box is dumb when a smart TV talks to a dumb device the TV becomes dumb. A lot of HDTV are still being feed by a coax based SD cable box.
- Unless you are hooking up a blu ray player all your sourcing device are going to look pretty much the same on a $300 HiSense verse a $800 Sony Google TV.
- This market is still in flex and no standard exist for smart TVs. The closes thing you have to Smart TV standard is a company store.
So basically buy the dumbest TV you can with as many HDMI inputs as you can find.
