It might seem counterintuitive to buy a smart TV and then not use it for that purpose. You probably did a lot of research on what smart TV to buy. Figuring out which one would look the best in the room based on size, how the visual experience would take over your room, thanks to the build of the TV, and the best ways to boost the sound were all likely considerations you had while buying the TV. Some people look at the smart features of the TV to see what they offer. But surprisingly, that can be the least important part of the smart TV buying process.
That's because you don't actually need to use your smart TV's operating system and features if you don't want to. There are ways around it, and they do involve adding another streaming device. But there are many reasons why you might want to do that.
