Given how cheap screens are, I'm puzzled as to why keeping a smart-ass TV is worth this effort?
For 50 years the idea of selling used hardware and hardware facilities at a profit was a joke. If it is not a joke again in under 10 years then the overall economics of the world are going to be the joke and it will be a very dark one.
