Why NO Ethernet on NEW QLED TVs

[grahamm7]

Thinking of purchasing a new 32" SMART QLED TV and I am a Samsung user.  2 possibilites are 32" The Frame Art Mode QLED Full HD HDR Smart TV (2021) QE32LS03TCUXXU  or 32" The Frame Art Mode QLED Full HD HDR Smart TV (2022) QE32LS03BBUXXU.  Neither seem to have an Ethernet LAN connection.  My current TV has both Ethernet and WiFi.  I would much prefer to connect to my Home LAN direct to the router than via WiFi.  Also can't see what the advantage is on the later 2022 TV compared to the earlier 2021TV apart from a higher Price.  We are thinking of changing our current Samsung 32inch as ITV Hub will soon not work with it due to its age etc... I have downloaded the specs but difficult to work out the differnces etc..  Apart from all the sales blurb on the web site.

@grahamm7  Whilst not substantial change the 2022 models feature a a matte, anti-glare screen producing clearer images https://www.techradar.com/features/samsungs-frame-tv-got-a-big-upgrade-for-2022 

The 43 inch model has an ethernet port https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/9c502bc4

We did think of going for a larger screen but in our room 32" works better.  Anyway as long as I can link by WiFi to my Ethernet router.  I just prefer Ethernet connections.  One reason to change TV is that IT HUB catch up says it will not work with some older sets. And some of the other catch up like My5 don't work well.  It is a big up lift for a better screen re anti-reflection.  But thanks for the reply.
