Reading that account/login will be necessary on some new TV's... to access full functionality of the unit.
Ummm. I guess that the % of missing functionality will be dictate to me the base price of the unit.

We don't need a new TV yet - but methinks it is going to get harder to buy something that is not corrupted with crap.

More and more 'things' seem to be this way.
"Give us your #PII or you can't <do the thing>."
@JohnJBurnsIII
And that part is bad enough as it is.
Equally bad: the vast majority of folks give up their PII and think nothing of it...as if it's normal and OK.
(And when I claim "vast majority", I'm estimating something within a whisker of 100%. I wish I wasn't kidding. đ)

The only features I want are power and hdmi port selection
Also, you can be assured that these tvs will have a high return rate
Yes. I run mine with a mini-NUC style PC. Will likely be converting that to Linux by end of year.
I just want my next TV to be a large monitor. I won't need over the air, or anything more than 2 or 3 HDMI (computer, DVD/BR) pretty much that's it.
I dread actually getting further into research mode... trying to weed out all the crap and between the lines meaning of things.

I feel like WOPR should be asking:
Do you want to read a good book?
