Smart TVs are the reason I haven’t bought a new tv in almost 15 years. I would like to upgrade to a fancy 4K one instead of my old 1080p one. Dumb TVs back then weren’t more expensive than smart TVs today so I don’t believe price is the reason for smart TVs. Margins maybe…
I'm actually using a 47 inch LG 3D TV that I purchased in 2012 that's 1080p. I keep looking for an excuse to upgrade but it's been working fine. It's been almost 15 years as well and I thought they weren't going to last this long for some reason. I don't even use any of the 3D stuff!
