The worst part is that there isn't just a couple super popular models of TVs that people could develop custom firmwares for, there are thousands of skus for televisions and each of them may behave in a different manner meaning that at their end of life it is unlikely that any group is going to go through the effort to free them from death.
- ThePhysicist 6y agoYeah it's annoying. But at least they still have a normal HDMI input, so I could still buy a smart TV stick to plug into that (or use a laptop). That seems more and more attractive as well since after a recent software update my TV now takes around a minute to boot to its smart OS, I suspect because the old hardware can't keep up with the new software.

- octoberfranklin 6y agoIt really sucks that most GPUs don't have CEC. Even the high-end ones. The price for CEC-USB dongles is outrageous too.
