@Eldelshell said:I'm not sure if large TV's come without SmartTV software.
Whether they come with it is irrelevant. If a consumer pays more for a TV or gets an inferior picture or fewer features for the same price by intentionally choosing a model with smart features, then that consumer made a bad choice. If you end up with a better TV at the same price, or pay less for the same, and the TV happens to have smart features that you will never use, then those smart features are causing no harm.
In Consumer Reports' most recent TV comparison article, they mentioned that most of their best buys happened to be models that would be described as "Smart TVs". They also generally noted that 3D TVs often have better pictures than non-3D TVs. So, you are often better off buying a TV with features you will never use.
