“Smart” TVs these days have like, the Youtube App, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. built in. These are usually littered with ads and paid features and have proprietary app stores so you can only have software they release on there. Not naming any manufacturer in particular, but I’ve owned several TVs that have done this. I’d like to have:
- Ability to install games, Brave Browser and other apps that would otherwise be restricted
- Parental controls so child doesn’t grab remote, open browser and open bad websites
- The ability to install an app that can stream from a NAS or Plex/Jellyfin server.
