This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Smart TVs are why I'm never getting rid of the old Samsung TV I'm currently using as a monitor for my desktop. It's not quite flat screen like an actual flat screen, but at least it doesn't have a camera attached to it (besides the USB camera I keep unplugged unless needed), no microphone, and no ads. Plus, I still have access to all the other types of things I need like AVI and coaxial inputs, besides HDMI. It's gonna be the saddest day ever when the beauty decides to die on me.
