> So why bother with a "smart" TV if you're going to be using an external computer anyway. Saving a few hundred dollars to spend on that external computer seems like a better investment.

I'm in the market for a 4k TV with low input lag. If you look at input lag tests (e.g., http://uk.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag) you'll see that every single TV listed there is a smart TV, at least in the 43"-50" range anyway. In fact, are there even such things as "dumb" TVs anymore?

That said, I've done some more research and realised tha the LG UH6* range is actually also pretty good for low input lags and runs webOS to boot so I think I'll go for an LG instead.
