Except you can't fully disable ads unless they've patched it in the last 6 or so months. I had a very long back and forth with them about it and they kept denying it until finally admitting that it was impossible to disable. Worse, they were using the notification bar to advertise gamefly. Not cool. Keep in mind the TV I had was their flagship first gen 4k tv. There's no excuse for putting ads on a nearly 5k dollar tv.

- eric_h 10y agoI bought a Samsung 4k TV ~1 year ago, and turning off the Smart TV features (smart hub, or whatever they called it) most definitely turned off the ads. I'm not actually getting 4k video out of my TV, (since neither the apple tv or playstation support it), but I'm not terribly concerned about that (as I can't tell the difference at the distance I sit from my television). I wanted a dumb TV anyway, but costco didn't have any at the size I was looking for when I purchased it.
- dawnerd 10y agoSounds like they may have fixed the options then. Before if you opted out of everything it would basically just ignore it. My solution was to just disconnect it from the internet. I haven't used their interface since and haven't had a need to since I have an nvidia shield which works wonderfully.
