If at least there was a company selling 'modular' TVs. Want a better processor? Here, switch this component and you're good to go, no need to buy a whole new TV. Want more HDMI inputs? Here are the modules you'll need. Want a LCD screen instead of an OLED one? We got you covered.
Things like this new ad "trend" makes you think the "smart" in "smart TV" was just a reference to their marketing ploy.
I think Toshiba tried to do this with replaceable processor modules. It really has limited consumer value and only lets them simplify production for different markets and upgrades with module swaps. All at the expense of more packaging costs to have extra connectors and housings or access panels.
