"Buy a dumb screen, and plug something smart into it," he said.

He’s right there. Save your money on “smarts” and go for the best picture you can afford.

Do you get much of a choice these days? Aren't most sets 'Smart' in some way, shape or form now anyway?

They seem to be, and most of it next to useless without a decent, seperate controller. Assuming the app's responsive to that...

+1000. I have a 'smart' TV but have never used a single one of it's smart features. In fact, as part of the initial setup, it asked 'Are you just going to use this TV as a monitor screen, and do you want me to switch all that stuff off?' and I said 'yes'.

My TV has a few smart functions. I tried them out, but, frankly, the PlayStations and the Apple TV do all that better.
