Re: Roll Your Own
Exactly, I've been saying this all along. The cost of the display alone is sufficient enough that it should not become obsolete inside of 4 years. I have 15 year old TVs/displays that are still as useful as the day I bought them because they don't rely on any "smart" software.
At a minimum I suggested smart-TVs should have a slot-in "smart-unit", which can be replaced preventing the display from becoming obsolete.
Now those people who do use their smart-TVs for YouTube will now be hooking up external devices or replacing their TV making the smart part completely pointless.
