Any good debloated TVs?

Mr. Forager@lemmy.world to Technology@lemmy.world – 220 points –

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!

You can setup PiHole to block Samsung's ad servers. Some routers give you the option to block specific websites, that works, too.

The site you have to block:

  • samsungads dot com
  • samsungtvads dot com

While this is a fantastic suggestion, and pi-hole is amazing, we shouldn't be in the position where this is required just to use a darn TV.
