Pretty cool article and highlights the problem of Smart TVs well. I don't think I'll ever get a smart TV but I'm privileged in this because my husband is fine with watching movies on a PC monitor and we don't plan to have kids so it's not like we'll have someone in the house clamoring for Disney+ on a separate big screen. Most households cave eventually because, admittedly, it's sweet to get a huge screen with excellent picture quality for just a few hundred.
My one gripe with the article itself is the introduction: "I’ve noticed something exciting but sort of crazy". Claiming that TV prices dropping fast is 'crazy' seems a bit funny. Prices drop for a lot of stuff though, I suppose, some technology does stay in the same relative range. But it's probably only until it reaches a certain quality point past which there's not much to entice customers into high-end purchases.
