I’m probably a minority in this (although probably not so much here on Lemmy), but if anything, I’d want my TV to be less smart, and less personalised. I don’t want Google to know what my favourite TV shows and movies are. I don’t want “suggestions” on which streaming platforms I could also install (often before the content I would actually want to see). And I most definitely don’t want my TV to be monitoring the rest of my “smart” home.
For the people who are part of this articles titular “we”, I seriously wonder: why would you have been waiting for this?
I think you’re definitely in the majority on lemmy with this take but i agree.
I have a “smart tv” that has never even seen WiFi because i prefer having control over my hardware. My media pc is all i need. I even got a little remote for an air mouse and keyboard combo that works just fine for me.
