I haven't used many smart tvs but I find the software to feel lower quality than a dedicated game console or box.

Kinda feel like they are building in smart TV features just to say "me to". Plus some of the blu-ray players that came with Netflix and stuff aren't being updated anymore and then when the APIs are deprecated at some point. So then you have these boxes lose their originally functionality other than just playing disks.

Seems like displays last longer than the software.
