I’ve recently learned some Roku TV have an LED that will flash at you whenever they’re not connected.
“Just use tape”
How long until it’s a message on-screen covering up what you want to watch? Or even preventing you from watching?
There is only one fix: regulation. Good luck with that. We’re doomed.
- woleium 3y agoor just purchase a digital signage screen instead of a tv
- ajdude 3y agoAre there any 4K digital signage screens as high-quality as some of these OLED smart TVs?
- MBCook 3y agoOLED would burn in, I doubt you could find that. But can you get 120hz? Or VRR? Low latency? Any other good feature? I doubt it. I suspect (as it seems you do) that if you want anything past a bog-standard tv you’re out of luck.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoActually, I'm curious as to why someone would buy a Roku tv and not hook it up to the internet?
- MBCook 3y agoSince they’re subsidized by all the spyware/services they’re cheap. So people buy them, even people who (like many ok HN) hate “smart TVs” and intend to only use it as a monitor for an Apple TV, Chromecast, cable box, etc.
