In Defense of Dumb TVs

Article note: Dumb TVs really don't need defending except from vendors who are now bundling crapware and spyware for "alternative income streams" like PC vendors in the early 2000s and Android vendors...now...actually that's mostly the same companies. We'd all prefer a high quality dumb panel and some HDMI-attached gadgets to be replaced at will to obsolescent-before-it-shipped dog-slow "smart" TVs.
