Gets an update a couple of years in to fix some bugs.

Gets second update on year 5 to add ads in all menus.

Gets a third update on year 6 to add a nag banner saying it isn’t going to work anymore soon with a discount code for a new Samsung TV.

Gets a fourth update on year 7 on the backend to disable Samsung account access from the TV but on the front end of the TV making Samsung account access mandatory to use the TV.

Okay cool. But can they be user serviceable, repairable and/ or dumb, as in not connected to WiFi. I’d much rather just connect my Xbox, Kodi box, jellyfin or PC to my TV and use those to access my media, rather than do it on the TV. Can we bring back pretty, dumb, repairable TVs? Please and Thank you.

I’d love standarized modules to unscrew and separate the “smart” part just like a desktop pc can. If they want to shove in that shit, then at least make me able to pull them out.

just tried disconnecting the “smart” part of my desktop pc. Now all I have is an expensive space heater.

I’d rather not have software updates and just have a tv that accepts hdmi, displayport, and AV
