We use Disney + constantly, and the smart tv apps are all unbearably slow, so I use the PS5. It's overkill for sure, but when I push a button the screen responds instead of waiting 10 seconds or so.

Really wish I could just buy a screen, I have so much crap plugged in that the "Smart" functions are a waste.

A dumb screen with the same specs would probably cost a good bit more since they'd be losing out on the option to datamine what you watch.

I just did a bit of looking, it seems the dumb screens are mostly for commercial applications and the prices are sky high. Guess we're stuck with Smart screens for now.

Which is why projectors and AVRs still exist. More expensive? Definitely. Worth the price? Also definitely.
