I Hate Smart TVs

03-31-2025

Smart TVs are cumbersome and unnecessary. Smart TVs are always ass slow for some reason. I don't know what it is about them but any other piece of technology with streaming services work perfectly fine. But smart TVs have like a full minute of input delay and typing with an on screen keyboard through a TV remote needs like a month of intensive training to execute effectively. And a TV that will randomly restart to update is just what I needed in the middle of a movie or game.
But that's ok. I can disconnect it from the internet and just use it as a TV. I can plug in a gaming console for literally all the features it comes with but faster. But at that point why not buy a regular TV the same size? It'd be cheaper without all the crap that makes it "smart." Except it's fucken impossible to find a regular ass non smart TV unless it's already small. Want a screen bigger than a postage stamp and 4k? You need to have it be "smart." And for something so "smart," that's pretty damn stupid.
