I’m in the market for a TV and I already use a HTPC as the main device. I am curious about the Sceptre TVs.

How is the image quality? Any input lag?

    Is there any reason to never connect a TV to the internet? I got a new TV and didn’t bother connecting it for any updates, but eventually I was having some remote issues that resolved after updating the TV.

      The terms of service for a Samsung TV says they will take screenshots of your TV and send it to themselves. That’s just one example.

      What if you use it as a monitor? It’s a terrible invasion of privacy. It should be illegal.

      Some people don’t like all of the bloatware and everything else that comes with a “smart” tv, especially people who want to use it as a large HDMI out

        Right, I just use it as a display for my streaming device. I’m just wondering if there’s any harm in connecting to the internet, updating firmware, then disconnecting.

          Not that I know.

          But I could provide a definitely wrong answer do someone could step in and answer correctly.

          So…
