Are you also afraid of the direction technology is heading?

I am worried.

Do you have anymore of that art?

>smart tv
thers your problem. anytime you see the word "Smart" prepended before the device name you can bet it's shit.

Just because you're poor doesn't mean you have to be angry

>watching tv in the first place
>afraid of the direction technology is heading

Smartphones are actually useful. Agree with all the other smartshit

I haven't owned or plan to own a TV in 10+ years. It's for my father to see them sports.

What are you, a pleb?

Lol

>Cartoon representation of a man paying 20+ dollars for a bag of (presumably human) excrement and directing "Hurr durr you can't afford exclusive shit" to two other characters in scene.

I have had full on arguments with plebian "friends" who boast on about their smart TVs and telling other gullible to buy, and I'm there like get a normal tv with good contrast ratio and resolution and an android box/pc with kodi/exodus, cheaper and more functionality

I don't want to be that guy but Samsung would probably go with tizen, samsung isn't actually fan of android

Actually, Samsung is pretty much in the Microsoft camp. They were among the first to pay the MS Android tax and they are a big WinPho maker. These two are very related.
How many tizen phones do you see in the Real World?

i dont watch TV
check m8

I wonder what that beer tasted like. Maybe airy with a bit of grassy notes toward the end..subtle notes of Apple but not very harsh. Always a good choice for the everyman.

where the fuck do you even buy a tv that doesn't have a glorified rasberry pi glued to the back?

Buncha idiots who don't know the extra bullshit in a "smart" tv is primarily for image processing that gives you a better picture and the app crap is just for marketing to morons.

>anytime you see the word "Smart" prepended before the device name you can bet it's shit.

nice dad joke.

I bet you also say "what's the deal with these 9 year olds buying $600 phones, in my day..." fuckin buy a tombstone already.

>image processing
what's the point of that beyond the actual processing of the image signal into the signal for the actual display?

Seriously... You would buy your 9 year old a smartphone?

I wouldn't, but I'm not going to argue that somebody else who did is bringing up their child incorrectly as if there's an objective right way to bring up a child.

>le screen is huge though so le file must be huge
that's a pretty good joke though, i didn't think of that

So you think it's ok to show 9 year olds porn

Cool

>buy smart TV
>don't connect it to the internet
>plug in HTPC via HDMI and switch to the input
>use it as a normal fucking TV
>but le botnet!!!!!!!!

Where the fuck did I say that? Making wild assumptions and jumps in logic. The fuck is wrong with you?

It was just Sapporo, Kirin Ichiban, or Asahi or some shit.

The future looks bright.

I've had Internet since I was 4 and didnt know what porn was till I was 10 or 11. Internet access doesn't equal porn, you fucking retard.

> Samsung "dumb" LED TV
> can power on in 1 seconds

> Samsung new "Smart" LED TV
> takes 5-10 seconds to boot up
> every input takes 2-3 seconds to register

Wanted to buy a Philips TV, it's got Android TV, but it's so buggy. It forgets literally every setting between rebooting and shit.

Just one. But if they aren't going to use it, why are they're trying to develop it? Also the OS on Samsung tvs are tizen too, but I am not sure, if they go with tizen on tvs they would go with tizen on fridges too

I like you

too bad everything will be smart pretty soon

Doesn't mean anyone wants more useless snapdragon processors in their house to watch netflix

>not having a separate set top box
>not using a DVB usb stick to watch TV

le screen is huge though so le file must be huge

This is exactly what I do. MythTV also gives no fucks when I want to skip over the trailers/warnings on a DVD. It also means your TV won't obsolete so quickly.

> yes, to watch TV
Why? Select "No", that will disable this smart shit.

Yup, Sapporo beer.

>smart TV
you were memed; you should have get a normal TV and small case computer.

>tv

stopped using that shit 15 years ago, bruh

>what's the deal with these 9 year olds buying $600 phones, in my day...
>fuckin buy a tombstone already
do you really think that? no wonder this generation is turning to crap. If this keeps running that road, the humanity is doomed.

>not searching the analogue network for channels first

Fuck off

Any dumb TV that isn't shit? The current TV I has its HDMI port filled in by the desktop like the good slut that she is, but it's still a 1080p TV at 60Hz. I'm thinking of getting a true 120Hz TV for gaymes, but UHD might be cool too. Are they all smart?

Yeah, any sane person would be.
It's not even about le nothing to hide argument, it's just insanely unnerving how much corporations want to know about you.
Yeah, advertisements will be better suited for you, and that could be seen as either a pro or a con.
I'm mainly concerned cause it'll lead to people being more passive in their product consumption, that corporations will see it as an opportunity to peddle dogshit to us, with less of an opportunity to find alternative products.
God I want refuge from this hell.

I live in Hong Kong and bought a cheap "smart" TV from China and christ it's the worst.

>takes 2 minutes to turn on, sometimes shows a video advertisement when it does
>interrupts everything once in a while to ask to update some knockoff app or another
>"4k" but doesn't accept any input greater than 1080p

it was only 1200HKD so that was pretty cool I guess

I have no interest in a smart TV. I don't even have cable.
I just use my Chromecast and stream from my Plex server. Or I have Hulu if I need to watch TV that badly.

>Chromecast
Good goy
