Curious, what functionality would I lose? All it needs to do is turn on and display video through an HDMI port.

Samsung historically has had a habit of poaching features from their Smart TVs as they age, eventually leaving you with a not so smart TV after a decade or so. Not sure if other manufacturers do the same
