    I just disabled the “smart” features on my Samsung S95B and set it to run the last used “app.” Which is just the last used input.

    It’s not perfect, but combined with HDMI CEC I almost never need to go into the ugly menu. I don’t mind the smart menus of the older TVs when it was a separate part of the TV you could ignore. But the integration in these new TVs where inputs are treated like another smart app and you have to go past apps to get to picture settings is just bad design.

    Not to mention serving ads for each manufacturer’s own streaming apps on a device someone spent a lot of money on us completely unethical. But at least disabling the Internet features took care of that issue.

      Yikes! So you mean you just can’t switch inputs without the smart TV side anymore? Time to avoid the Samsungs then…
