If you’re really considering possibly (probably) worsening the performance of your tv just to download Peacock, might I suggest you buy a $20 streaming stick instead? They can all get Peacock
Not the person you’re replying to, but if a bad update hits the streaming stick you’re out a $20 streaming stick not a few hundred dollar TV. Sure the problem has moved but the damage from being moved is a lot more manageable than it was before.
This is a post about tvs being bricked from updates. Tvs bricking is a real thing that multiple people are facing right now. HDMI ports breaking is something I have never heard happen unless a user is actively destroying them. I used to work in IT at my last job and I had to replace monitors because the panel failed never because the port failed. Additionally, what even remotely modern TV doesn’t have multiple HDMI ports?
What do you need to update your tv for?
New streaming apps for one.

A streaming stick that also need updates and just moves the problem you mean?
Mine needs to be updated so I can continue using Kodi. If I use a stick with Kodi, same shit needs to be done regardless.

At that point I’ll hook something else up.
The point is convenience, not adding a bunch of other extra steps and failure points.
What if the hdmi port fails? Then you’re gonna be glad you’ve got the tv instead.
I have nwver had an hdmi port fail. How often are you shoving things into it to break?
I’ve never had a tv brick from an update. You see how none of the arguments matter? It’s a possibility, so to argue is just silly.
