On one hand, my Vizio comes built in with several apps—NetFlix, Hulu, Local News—that improves the overall tv watching experience. Without the apps installed, I doubt that the members of my house hold would be consuming half the amount of entertainment. On the other hand, I hate the fact that data leaks to Vizio.
So, what's the best way to strike a balance?
Buy a "non-smart" tv and plug in a laptop (or rasberry pi) via an HDMI cable?
