Ugh. This is why we can’t have nice things.
You can, they just cost more.
This isn’t really true, they don’t write a separate os for the fancier TVs. The $5000 83” oled still does all this. It’s not as bad as the $75 37” lcd that’s heavily subsidized but that’s only partially because of less intrusive ads. The ads are still there, just not as much, the data collection is still there, and the tv is just runs smoother because the hardware is generally (a bit) more powerful
I think that even the most expensive TVs have the same OS and data collection
Maybe, but no ads though. I guarantee Bill Gates does not see ads on his TV.
