I pity the poor fool who sets up their smart TV instead of just grabbing an HDMI cable and plugging in their computer.

We had a samsung 4k curved tv that has ads on the input menu, and the ad space is filled with a samsung ad if the set has never connected to the internet.

It also harasses you with a pop up about connecting occasionally on startup.

It’s bearable but absurd. We returned it on principle
