I think I disagree, dpack.
It's a TV, for viewing things. A smart TV basically allows for an Internet and hard drive connection, so you can then access iplayer, Youtube, movies and things like Netflix instantly. It does this at least as well as a PC without extra wires, power consumption and having a laptop sat in front of it.
It'll only be out of date when those services change, or new ones come along requiring something more. Given the expected life of a TV now is probably only a few short years, I doubt this is much different than a laptop. I know you can, theoretically, update a PC, but people don't.
Having the Smart option keeps things simple for most people. |
