Unnecessarily expensive. Just use any TV without allowing internet. Not connecting some (maybe not newest) TV vs not connecting commercial panel should be about same amount of work.

I use few year old Sony like that, couldn't care less about any of these complaints. It requires trips to PC to manage content, which I think is the biggest hurdle of this approach for lazy couch potatoes.

I am thinking about upgrading TVs at my hotel and 49 inch low to medium quality is between $440-600. These are designed for hotel/hospitals.

Do they have sound?

They have sound.

Who uses their TV for sound? I don't even know if mine has a built-in speaker.

I do. It's quite common in Japan to not have a surround sound etc. Our neighbours are quite close lol
