Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
@mhhf1ve I think it's about what appeals to particular types. I'd guess that the same people who opt for smart home systems also would opt into smart TVs.

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
I have a Roku TV and I may just be being paranoid, but I'm pretty sure the home screen already sends targeted ads my way based on what I have watched.

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
@Mhhfive I think that is already happening. It is hard to go on Amazon and find a "dumb" TV. I'm pretty sure we have had similar conversations before, but I think you are right that at least one company will continue to make "dumb" screen and then charge a premium for not having all the bells and whistles.

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
@afwriter you can experiment by getting a friend to tune into the same thing. But it only would work if that friend would have established some different enough viewing habits to warrant getting different targeted ads.

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
Hopefully, there will always be "PC monitors" -- which would effectively be "dumb TVs" since almost no one uses OTA reception anymore. I can't imagine PC monitors will go away, and they'll probably get bigger -- to be the size of a living room TV someday.

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
@mhhf1ve I would agree but you never know the way technology turn up as this days everyone wants all in one solution... and sometimes technology what did not pickup much in the past in 6 years everyone start hyping about it... on the top of my head example would be Netbooks did not pick up in 1999/2000 but from 2005 to 2010 everyone was getting one... go fugure...

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
Well, I'm actually hoping that screens go away, and projectors become the main display technology. Then I'll only need a blank wall instead of a whole dedicated area in my living room.

Re: And replacement will take care of the rest
I'm not sure if it ever came to fruition, but I think it was Samsung was working on a close-range projector so it looked like a small entertainment center but projected a big picture onto the wall behind it. I would love to have something like that. I love the idea of a projector but they can be kind of a pain to set up and connect to.
