Any upside to not having a tv be smart and downside to it being smart?

Seems hard to find a 50 in that isn't smart.

For gaming that is.

For gaming? It doesn't matter. Only downside is the microphone isn't off. It's on waiting for commands and will catch convos. Depends on how paranoid that makes you.

Upside, it's not literally analyzing everything you watch and potentially say within its vicinity

Downside, you gotta have a console or firestick or whatever to watch Netflix

Can't you turn the mic and stuff off?
Like, not connect the internet to the tv in the first place.

Smart TV has higher resolution than the dumb tv I found.
4k vs. just 1080p

I guess for gaming, don't matter, but if using netflix from a ps4 it does?

I just hope the apps don't hound you when you turn on smart tv

If you don't have a One X, you don't need to worry about a 4KTV

I have a PS4 Pro and I sometimes wish I just had a 55 inch 1080p

I don't like my tv judging me cause Im drunk and it went off and got all educated. I bet it can't hit the same cup with an off the wall shot like I did that one time in Patricks basement.

Netflix does have 4k content, but you have to upgrade above the standard package. Also new consoles are around the corner and they are going to be higher resolution than 1080p. So buying a 4k tv would be smart.

What is the cause? The amount you paid for the tv or it don't look as good?

Yes, but monitors suck compared to 4k tvs right now. They aren't worth it.

PS4 Pro just is like driving a Ford while a One X is like driving a Lincoln.

But playing any 1080p content on a 4KTV just seems to lead to some weird artifacting and stuff.

I read that if the tv has hdr it would look better than a native 1080p screen, but if not, the 1080p native would look better. For ps4 that is.
