A quality 1080p, LED backlit, high refresh rate LCD panel should look nearly as good in 7-10 years as it does today. Don't gimp it with electronics that go out of support in 4 years.

edit: in my opinion, of course
I'm with you on that. Might be awesome to have all these neat little gimmicks but that's all they'll be at the end of the day. The laptop that you probably already own can serve most of, if not more than what a smart tv will offer.
