#2Now we need open firmware for our tvs
Re: Samsung Ads – Demand-Side Platform
#3So you pay money for a television that displays ads.
When will they pull a Kindle and sell special "ad-free" versions of so-called Smart TVs for an extra $100?

#4I wonder if there is a market for dumb TVs. They basically don't exist today. Closest thing I could get was a Dell conference room monitor, which is $1200 for a 55 inch, and $4500 for a 75 inch. A far cry from the $700 I spent on my current 75 inch TV, but I'm strongly considering it.

#5I now have ads on my expensive Samsung. Teaches me right for not heeding the advice and getting as dumb a TV as possible.
I should not need to run a PiHole to deal with this.

#6I’d rather have no telly at all than buying some crap Samsung tv for €2.000 only to see their programmatic advertising. Whoever at Samsung decided this must be drunk! But hey, I guess there still are enough people around who don’t care.

#8I used to work in advertising, and it's remarkable how clueless and out the industry is about consumer feedback on this. There's constant back patting without realizing the actual ire shoppers have after spending $2k on a TV and still being sold as a product.

There are brands - such as Loewe and Bang&Olufsen - who respect the end-user, and make fantastic TVs.
But people generally don’t want to pay the premium amount that they cost.

A smart TV can be a dumb TV if you never connect it to the internet and just plug in whatever you want to it via HDMI. I have a 'smart' TV myself and the only buttons I use on the remote are power and input select. It's never seen the internet since I've had it.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before these TVs require 'activation' and frequent 'reactivation' before you can use them though. Alternatively they may perhaps start connecting to cellular networks, which would be a lot harder to evade.
