I feel like someone could make bank with a Kickstarter whose pitch is, "It's a 55-inch 4K 120Hz screen with 4 HDMI-In's and the most barebones firmware possible. Oh, you want Netflix? Go buy a used PS4. They're, what, $100 these days?"
@SarraceniaWilds I agree that smart TVs are a shit show, but saying that TVs are only screens is incorrect. What made them TVs is that they have a tuner to receive what they display, hence the name television (also speakers might be good). One could argue, that today a capability to receive a stream via the internet is just the modern way of a receiver.

@SarraceniaWilds agreed! I don't connect my TV to the network and stream everything on an Apple TV.
