Not disagreeing with the sentiment here, but I was recently surprised to find my LG smart TV allowed me to reject their terms of service and privacy policy.
If you reject them, it cuts off access to all of the smart tv stuff (including the App Store, apps, etc). Seems like telemetry also stops.
I was pretty delighted to discover this.
- clhodapp 5y agoDoes it not periodically bug you if you do that? That's what happened with mine until I eventually relented and started getting bugged by their "notification" advertising instead
- aceazzameen 5y agoI did the same with my Sony Bravia, although I still have access to apps I want to use. I don't even know what the features are that I rejected cause I don't care about them.
- flatiron 5y agoMy Samsung tv puts itself in “demo mode” if you aren’t on the Wi-Fi and it’ll shut itself down and reset all its settings every hour.
- christophilus 5y ago> Samsung I see your problem.
- rosndo 5y agoBut why would you but anything but an LG OLED?
- notreallyserio 5y agoMine bleeds pretty bad around the edge. Not bad enough I'd go through a replacement process but I won't buy one again.
- rosndo 5y agoThat is just the nature of TVs, you aren’t going to get vastly better QC by going with a different brand. I just buy from somewhere with easy returns.
- flatiron 5y agoMy contractor dropped my previous tv which was like 10 years old and that’s what he got as a replacement. Went from 1080p to 4k.
- DiabloD3 5y agoUnfortunately, that was your mistake. Never buy anything Samsung branded. No phones, no consumer SSDs, no TVs, no monitors, no laptops, no phones and tablets, no fridges and wash machines and driers. Nothing. The entire brand is toxic. Hell, don't even do business with their fab, ask Nvidia about how that turned out for them.
