I recently bought a Haier 40" for cheap at Costco to replace a 27" CRT
that started giving purple and orange hues to everything. It has a nice
enough picture, but it takes about 15 seconds to turn on. It is NOT a
smart model. I don't know why some TVs take a long time to turn on, but
it is not necessarily the smart TV circuitry.
I do agree that Smart TVs are not worthwhile. A Roku, AppleTV, or even
a Chromecast will provide the same functionality for much less money
than the smart TV premium. A Myth setup is nice as well...
