DIDs are great but there are two main problems with them:

1. They appear to be more expensive than consumer TV’s

2. They might be more difficult to find through usual channels because they are targeted at businesses (but it probably depends on where you are located)



Well if you're unwilling to pay more for it then you've kind of conceded the manufacturers' argument, haven't you?


Would smart TVs be loss leaders without all the telemetry or merely less profitable?


Given how competitive and commoditized the market is I wouldn't be surprised if they were outright money losers, but does it matter?
