Hi there!
So I am looking to buy a new TV, but the latest smart-TVs all seem to be very bloated with ads and other ridiculous and unnecessary features. I know very little about TVs, and therefore wondering if anyone has any tips on some good TVs that include as little bloat as possible.
Thanks for any recommendations or tips!
Not at all, no dumb questions.
Many Smart TVs do have modified software to show even more adverts than normal. Some of the built-in TV smart apps also have a lot of adverts. That’s why many people are recommending getting a proper streaming box/adapter instead of using the built in smart TV features.
Even on the official streaming devices there are “adverts”, but they are usually only for installed apps and they are more focused on their content and recommendations.
Though this does vary it seems.
It sounds like you have the right kind of plan. Main thing to know is that the Smart features on TVs are very much a “nice extra” and shouldn’t factor in to your buying decision as a £50 stream stick/box is usually way better.
Excellent, thanks for clearing that up, it makes a lot more sense to me now :]
