Is it possible that all the software that makes a TV "smart" is near zero marginal cost, but it can be used to market and sell a lower quality panel. Whereas the higher quality panel will sell itself due to being higher quality.
I have also never been bothered by the "smart features" of Sony TVs. I just do not connect it to a network.
