Lets face it, 4k is a Scam

What is funny is that just buying a "dumb" TV and either using a blu ray player or streaming stick makes it into a "smart" TV for the most part (besides maybe surfing the internet which is slow and pointless on a TV anyways).  "Smart" TVs are a rip off if you ask me.

It is far more easier to just have one device do it all. If the Smart TV is costing way too much, it is a rip off. Everything has to do with related value. 

Regular TV + 50 dollar streaming device or 100-120 blu ray that has Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc is a lot cheaper than most Smart TV offers.  Blu ray player is the way to go because you can stream and watch dvd/blu rays.  I use my Wii U though for streaming because it is faster and better at streaming apps.  There were recent reports that they want to use Smart TV to beam in ads onto your TV while viewing streaming apps.

Personally, I see no benefit but perhaps some people might.
