    They’ve really worked to turn that around with their TVs. They’re entry level still sure, but for the price it’s hard to beat and their quality control on them has taken a big step up.

        You mean the stuff every TV has these days? I also never hook mine to the internet so not really a problem. I haven’t seen a single ad in the year I’ve had mine

          What disgusting cope. Don’t you have any self-respect?

          Just because you can work around the abuse doesn’t mean they aren’t abusing you.

          Edit: people like the commenter above are actively making the world worse by normalizing and even excusing abusive corporate practices. I apologize for nothing!

            Dude, touch grass and calm down. You’re putting a lot of words in my mouth and completely missing the point which is why you’re getting down voted.

            I’ve pushed back on “smart” TVs so much. My point was if your issue with TCL is the ads you should rightfully have issues with every TV. They’re all shoving ads, they’re all analysing watched content. This isn’t a TCL specific thing at all was my only point.

            Also disconnecting from internet is a direct way of fighting back against that abuse. You’re not giving them those analytics or ad space. Sure you can choose to not buy any TV but I clearly keep overestimating people’s intelligence and didn’t think I needed to spell out every possible option in a quick comment.

            Fuck I hate the braindead keyboard warriors the internet has enabled.

          You can still get dumb tvs.

          Edit: Yall. They are not hard to find. Please do a search of them. They can even be delivered right to your doorstep.

        You saw nothing! \⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠/ Ever since I added my Welsh keyboard my autocorrect just doesn’t even try anymore on my phone.
