I'm never buying a "smart" anything, aside from phones. I put up with Android and it already feels like too much.

    By all means. But "smart" TVs come at a discount because they believe they'll have opportunities to make revenue off of those features. However, if you prevent the thing from connecting to the Internet then you get the best of both worlds. Cheaper and ad free.
