Hi there!
So I am looking to buy a new TV, but the latest smart-TVs all seem to be very bloated with ads and other ridiculous and unnecessary features. I know very little about TVs, and therefore wondering if anyone has any tips on some good TVs that include as little bloat as possible.
Thanks for any recommendations or tips!
No one forces you to use that stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever used my TV menus. I have a chromestick and I just cast everything from my phone. I could have the smartest TV in the world for all I know, I don’t care.
The most recent Samsung TV we got has built in adds on the home screen, i do not want to see ads when ive used hundreds of euros to buy the TV already. Not much I can do to avoid that.
You can setup PiHole to block Samsung’s ad servers. Some routers give you the option to block specific websites, that works, too.
The site you have to block:
While this is a fantastic suggestion, and pi-hole is amazing, we shouldn’t be in the position where this is required just to use a darn TV.
Can’t you just not connect it to the Internet?
Some brands will show ads anyway.
Don’t connect it to the internet?
