This sounds really crappy, from France perspective (and Europe, generally). Our "smart" TVs are where the "smartness" is useless applications (mostly) but there is no requirement to be connected anywhere (that would be illegal), no ads (that would be illegal) and there are no options to get a TV that would be cheaper because it would show ads. I thought that customer protection was stronger in the US, or that at least the customer needs where taken into account (like the whole buy-try-return (which we did not have until a dozen years ago))
