The TV is cheap because it’ll spy on you, shove ads in your face and sell your broadband to spammers. You consent to it when you click the I Agree button, and your only recourse is to take it back and ask for a refund.

And it's cheap because this size of TV isn't in demand and is cheap to produce compared to panels that are 4-8x the size.

Which is why I made sure the cheap TV I bought recently didn't have anything smart about it. I just use it as a big monitor connected to PC through HDMI so that I can watch stuff while in bed.
