    The signal is arguably sales vs activations.

    And as for ads, I have a new Samsung QLED connected to CEC devices. I literally never see the TV’s UI. It feels like a computer monitor. CEC bypasses all the input selectors and UI that they would normally use to prompt stuff. It’s worth checking out. CEC is kind of rad and give the end user back a lot of control.

    Commercial displays are also another choice if you don’t want smart crap. Although, those dumb displays can actually cost more because the manufacturer isn’t able to monetize the TV with apps and ads.
