It doesn't matter if you get one. They are the cheapest and best image quality TVs available, and many like Samsung's let you set them up without connecting to Wi-Fi.
Yeah, is a fucking sad state of affairs. I actually paid extra for my dumb TV, but then hooked up a jailbroken firestick so I guess I'm a hypocrite.
I understand why, but you didn't have to. Many smart TVs let you set them up without Wi-Fi and just use the HDMI ports.
Samsung, LG, and Google TV models do, but Roku and Fire TV do not.
