Are smart TVs a meme?
What can they do that a normal tv + Roku/firestick/whatever can’t?

its hard to find a dumb TV that meets my standards for input lag and other vidya nerd shit like that. my previous sony was a fantastic TV for gaming but took 20-30 seconds to start because of app shit.
current samsung is a bit better at 15 seconds

Do the same stuff as a roku using the TV's remote while being laggy and having shitty wifi that cant keep up with HD streams built in.
Fucking tested this on multiple TVs in multiple house including my time working at Microcenter.
Only some of the new ones are decent but I imagine they put weaker SoCs than what is in your typical roku or such.

Smart TV's are the ultimate meme.

it's a matter of convenience, not everybody wants to fuck around with 2+ remotes. Also non-smart tvs are pretty bad these days
