Honestly, smart TVs creep me out. The ones I&#x27;ve used have had impossibly annoying menus and inexplicably slow connections. My parents&#x27; smart TV buffers low-res Netflix shows to the point that it&#x27;s sometimes unusuable. I brought my Chromecast over once and it worked perfectly.<p>Not to mention hooking my television up to the internet means I&#x27;ll be getting ads from the software (Hulu, broadcast commercials) AND the hardware. No thanks.
