Yeah I agree too...

Someone found a way to solve a problem they posed as a problem.

Smart TVs consolidated buying the "extra" device for older consumers... Or maybe it's as simple as it's really that's all that is left to buy?

Yeah, that last thing. Find me a competitively priced, quality 55 inch television without smart features. Just a dumb display. I can't find any around here anymore. I just bought a 27" 4k display and slapped it on the coffee table.

These used to be called "commercial displays". I don't know if they're still sold. Costs more than a smart TV, but is dumb.
