The samsung TV that I bought for my son had this annoying overlay thing that pops up when you turn it on that shows all the different inputs and nags about various things it thinks are wrong with the world. It is plugged into an Nvidia shield that we do most things on, but you can't use the shield until the overlay calms the fuck down and disappears.
It'd be great if you could just have the thing turn on and display an input like our older TVs do.
The roku TV I have screens every dvd we play and tells us we can watch it easier on a streaming service.
Fuuuuuuuck that
Agreed, if it wasn't a free TV I'd return it. Though it doesn't have any complaints about my pirated media so at least that's nice.
Damn I have an old school amp with the surround sound speakers that has a single hdmi output that everything goes through so my tv never complains cos as far as its aware its just a hdmi input.
If it runs android tv (I would assume so) u might be able to plug in a usb and use that to force uninstall a bunch of bloat.
