The problem with the Smart TV is apparent when you look at how support fades after a few years. The TVs all seem to last about the same (you can get Consumer Reports on that) but the software in the Smart TV area is a mess.
First we start with a web browser that is not even close to any PC or even an iPad.
Next the apps can outright vanish or have bugs that are never addressed.
It was a great idea but fails. Forget Smart TVs and focus on picture quality and warranty duration.
I am looking to purchase a new Smart TV. Which Smart TV brand do you recommend to buy? What distinguishes the brand from others on the market? Any links to external, reliable reviews would be appreciated, too.
