The thing that drives me bonkers about "smart" TVs is how slow they can be. Cheap processor + lots of software to compute = sluggish user experience. It's not not only is it spying on me, it's letting me know that it cares more about making me wait to spy on me before adjusting the frikkin' volume.

Like most other things, it's the good old "you get what you pay for". I got the LG CX OLED few months ago and that thing is lightning fast. Starts up nearly instantly, apps switch without any delay....I have no problems with it being "smart". Compared to my old Sony Bravia which literally took a minute to even start up, urgh.
Now you have to pay more for features that used to come standard, in addition to making tv ownership ad supported.
Nobody had a lighting fast or slow RF remote, the volume just went up and down when you clicked the button (after getting it pointed in the right direction)
Really? That’s strange, because I don’t remember my old TV supporting AirPlay. I also don’t remember ever seeing ads on my LG.
"Smart" is just a marketing buzzwords. These days due to this smart tv thing I can't find any decent dumb TV.
Their is nothing smart in "Smart TV" they all should be labeled "Scam TV".
