This sounds like a buying choice dependent on what someone is comfortable with the technical expertise needed. Having worked in the field for years, some people want all the the new media gadgets and some people are more comfortable with not having all the bells and whistles.

Smart televisions had just hit the market and were expensive, so I bought a regular LED HDTV with a blu-ray disk player that allows me to connect to Youtube, Netflix and Amazon prime streaming services via my wifi connection. I get a great picture and services that I find very interesting, in that, it has alters my viewing habits. Televisions always come down in price as the technology evolves.

Love getting Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra concerts on Youtube, played thru my home stereo system. When I am ready to buy again, I'm pretty confident, I will go with the latest technology.
