Pro tip, buy a “Commercial Didplay” not a SmartTV and be happy.
this is actually fucking terrifying
“To use this vacuum cleaner you have to watch some ads.”
I have never connected a TV to the Internet. I do have a smart TV but I just use it for my computer.
That’s one reason why I never connected mine to the internet.
Never buy Hisense, got it.
Fucking Hell? Just allowed it to update an hourago and already had a bad feeling and now I am reading this?
double post by accident.
i wish people were less tolerating about this shit. most likely users of those tvs will grumble a little at first and then just accept and eventually disparage anyone for speaking against it.
people should get way more angry about this publicly.
just think about how things used to be 50 or 100 years ago. Having a huge scandal could actually end someones career or put down a company. Now there is nothing shitty people and companies can’t do because everyone is so apathetic they wouldnt care if they themselves are the victim.
Most people just dont care or notice. They go to work get money and then go to walmart snd buy whatever is cheapest. Theyre used to ads everywhere so they buy the ad infected tv and dont even notice anything wrong, ads are just a mundane fact of life.
I took the money I was going to spend on a TV and bought a 50 inch on facebook market place. Then, I got a last-gen gaming PC. Is it tedious? yes, but I can play video games and watch whatever I want without getting spied on so its a fucking win. *ads from changing the inputs and channels on your own device?" fuck you. I hope this tv lasts the next two decades.
Im still using an LG tv from 2007, and you could be too if you were my friend :^) I have jurassic park on bluray and i make pretty good popcorn
I’d like to let people know that Sceptre still makes dumb tvs and they’re pretty good.
There’s literally no reason to buy a smart TV so long as TV’s have multiple HDMI inputs.
I use the 4k ONN box which can play files off the high seas… i mean USB.

Stop tempting them. I’m already down to 2 HDMIs on most of the TVs I’ve touched in the last decade. Some 3, one with 4. That’s anything from a cheap 32"Roku to a high end LG LED 70". I expect to find a 1xHDMI soon enough.

I’m feeling a lot less crazy having my strict rule on AV equipment:
It should work out the box without connecting to the internet, and it shouldn’t be connected without a damned good reason.
To the point that I insisted on setting up the PS5 and playing a game on it before connecting, just to be sure.That’s my only gripe with my ONN box… the remote gets updates. seems sus. But I don’t give it microphone permissions so hopefully that’s sufficient.
One hint that it’s still listening is if it runs through batteries too fast. If it lasts at least a year, you should be okay. I had to get a Chinese knock-off remote without a microphone for my last TV to stop it.
Good to know. Lasted a year on some crappy amazon batteries so I think it’s turned off.
