Not as bad as this, but when I moved to a new town I got a free big TV with my new ISP. I was going with that ISP anyways so a free 4k HDR TV on top was a nice bonus.

I wish I had gotten some other bonus. Viewing angle is atrocious and it is impossible to get rid of the input lag (no there isn't a gaming mode or similar) so no games with precise timing can be played.

So now we have a big living room TV that is too good to replace with something better but bad enough to be a little bit annoying.

Give it to your parents or some other older people who would use it just as a TV and buy yourself a decent TV.

I usually just assume that free shit given away as part of some other sale is going to be bad or shit quality. They probably bought a big batch of them for real cheap because they weren't selling so great in stores and eventually someone decided to just get rid of that inventory maybe at a loss.

Trade in for something slightly "worse" then?

Why not sell it?
