Dumb TVs almost extinct

Bought one of the last few models of non smart tvs two weeks ago.
Just noticed they are jacking up the price by 50.00. I paid 300.00.
Discuss. Way cheaper in the U.S. by the way.

A lot of older people prefer less complicated technology. When my parents were alive I gave them each a dvd player and tried to teach them how to use it. No luck. Had to go back to VCRs. Newer smart tvs can be intimidating for people who are not technologically inclined.
