Comment on Sony launches new version of the best cheap 4K Blu-ray player that drops the streaming tech – but the price looks odd
Why not purchase one subsidized by ads then just not connect it to the internet? Seems like a win-win
…because there’s no guarantee it will work without internet.
Can you provide an example of one that only works online? I have never heard of that.
I’m not sure we’re there yet, but we’re certainly in the “nag banners on a frequent basis” realm on TVs.
Fair, but I don’t think we should want to pay a premium for a dumb TV in fear of a hypothetical future. Perhaps worthwhile if it ever happens, but until then buying a subsidized smart TV and keeping it dumb seems fully better to me.
