Well, you can make it a PC and then turn it off, I guess. Then let the rest of us have all the fun.
It sounds like you still want a smart TV, just with control. Which is fine.
But for many people, we just want a monitor, maybe with speakers (I personally am fine also separating this).
I prefer separation of concerns — if I want to attach a computer to my TV, I’ll do that as a search device.
Why have a dependency on the TV hardware, when I can attach upgradable parts?
