Eliminate all the bells and whistles and then pay extra to put them back in.

Don't forget it costs extra to have those bells and whistles removed. Looking at a samsung 55" 4k with hdr normal tv at $429 right now, that I can pick up at a local store right now.

Yet they want $599 for a kickstarter tv.

Isn’t it a great idea!

I use my hdmi switch in my AVP, so why would I want a bunch of unused ports?

I use my powered monitors for audio, why would I want crappy built-in speakers?

I absolutely do not want crappy “smart” functions in my screens firmware that already have superior apple-tv counterparts.

Etc.

Smart tv’s are cheaper for a reason. In short - I just want a big monitor. Where can I get a 50”+ monitor for at least a reasonable price?
