A "smart" internet-connected television that has the ability to have its hardware upgraded every year has been unveiled by Samsung.
The device has a slot which allows new kit to be added to boost processing performance and add new features.

Gimmick imo, it's not the processing power you buy a new TV for, it's new screen technologies mainly, everything else is extra.
My D series with a GB of RAM and ARM processor can decode massive video files, being able to upgrade the processor is useless.
They all run linux or android now so new features just require software, not hardware.

What John said, it's hardly future-proof when the panel is what you're going to be most interested in.

Apparently Samsung stance on them is that they have done nothing wrong. Shocking customer service, they need a Barnshaw
