I still believe this leaves a good market for a brand to just make privacy focused TVs.

If I’m buying a $1000 TV, I would pay $1100 if it means it’s just a screen and not smart.

The only obstacle is enough people wanting this.

Considers how much the average person cares

Maybe it’s a fantasy.

    The problem is you can just buy the $1000 TV you actually want and a $50 Android TV box to get the best of both worlds.

    Now if only there was better competition on that Steaming box front.

    You can already do that. Just skip the WiFi step in the setup then plug your own box into the HDMI port.

    Google TV, WebOS and Tizen models let you do this, only Roku and Fire TV don't AFAIK.
