What do you think your phone is doing, your internet provider is doing, your web browser is doing?

TV OS is a weird line to draw…

I want my phone to have a web browser, social media, texting, etc..

I want my TV to display an image from my input source. I'd really like to see less smart TVs and more dumb TVs.

You can get excellent "dumb" (i.e. do what I say) monitors, but for a lot more. Like if you want a 55" 4K gaming monitor, you're looking at paying maybe 3-4x what you pay for a smart TV.

Why? That data collection subsidizes your low cost. That's how they offer an excellent 55" 4K tv at a discounted cost of around $1000-1200.
