Should we be assuming that you want an inexpensive TV, then?
Partly I'd like to keep the price low, but also I am concerned that if the set has additional circuitry for those functions, the maker has skimped somewhere else in the build in order to hold it within a competitive price bracket. And partly it just galls me to buy features I don't want.

I was looking at a Sharp. I know Hisense owns that brand now. Are they OK or is that a brand known for frequent failure?
