Buy a normal screen you twat.
4k TVs are like sub 200 bucks at this point. Imagine being that poor.
the government wants spy on poor people I guess
It's been known for more than 10 years that Samsung smart TVs spy on you with hidden cameras. Everyone else will be doing the same.
Oh damn I jerk off in front of the TV a lot of times
Yes, they're laughing.
lmfao i would love to see the quality of one of those
picture quality on them is perfectly fine for living room use but there's no priority on input lag and because they make them like 2 cm thin they usually have godawful speakers and the cheapest and most useless stands possible.
Lol, this screams "im poor"
Oleds are insanly thin but have fantastic sound
I would fricking love to see the hdr on those 200$ screens, lmao
Typically those super cheap 4k TVs only go up to 400 nits, and if they have HDR it looks horrendously bad because of the lack of local dimming causing all the black areas surrounding a bright portion of the picture to bloom. t. had to help my brother buy the "best possible not-ripoff" TV and he always refuses to spend over 300 bucks on one because "it all looks the same anyway." At that price range you're getting total garbage unless you luck into some insane deal like that QLED for 200 bucks best buy did last year.
I don't care how much money you spend on a tv, you're not getting not shit sound from shitty inbuilt speakers. Even a couple of standalone ones for $300 will blow away anything any tv has.
>picture quality on them is perfectly fine
"I have zero standards" the post
If you had standards you would not be posting on this site.

>Change credit card # as soon as the free TV arrives
WTF NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST CANCEL THE PAYMENT METHOD!!!!
They have your address. They put a 500 dollar hold on your card immediately, so I assume you can't just swap it out easily. Even if you could, you're risking a fraud charge for a shitty TV that's probably below midrange in quality.
If you sign up for the TV they require a $500 claim on your credit card, if you don't abide by their data collection requirements and don't return the tv, they'll just charge you $500.
>credit israelite
YIKES
I really hope poorgays don't fall for this control state psyop
who am I kidding they are beyond moronic of course they'll fall for it
People actually, unironically believe their iphone was $1.

>sign up with 25 dollar prepaid visa bought from the gas station
Nothing personnel
Doesn't work, CC's allow for checking if the funds are available when they put in a secured deposit, otherwise hotels wouldn't work.
Prepaid visas get declined all of the time but services like redbox.
Aw dang, that sucks for whomever I stole the credit info from. Lol. Lamo.
If you're gonna do that then just buy a better TV without an ad banner you dunce
Who is this targeting then? Cause someone who can get a 4k TV and has 500 on their credit card can get a much better TV for less.
Poor people that don't mind being spied on 24/7 because they get a TV that they couldn't otherwise afford.
Again someone with a CC that has 500 in funds can get a much better TV for less. Shit you can get a fricking free TV by checking people's front yards the day before bulk trash comes by. That's how I got many a big CRT for my retro games and a LCD TV for my daughter. This shit has no real market because its a hassle to get. I seen the questions they ask and shit any poor homie would be like this shit too smart for my stupid homie ass frick this plus they aren't as profitable for advertising. Advertising wants middle class 18-39 which is the main demography.
You're assuming poor people are good with money
so just break the sensors duh

Oh yeah?
Then I'll just stop playing the game
Is the rat anon still alive? Are his rats alright?
I assume the TOS they have you agree to includes a stipulation to not modify the TV in any way that prevents the telemetry from working otherwise they bill you 500 bucks. Either way, I have no idea who the frick would want this thing. Decent TVs are on sale for a few hundred bucks all the time, so unless you're so destitute that you have no other way to possibly own a TV there's no point.
A better question is why would anyone want a TV in 2023? There's nothing good on it, you don't need it for anything, pretty much everything you can do on it you can also do on PC.
Because 4k OLED monitors are much more expensive for the sizes you can get vs a TV. The same is true for mini LED monitors.
and let me guess, cameras to track your eyes?
Yes and motion sensors etc. Not to mention you have to apply to one and give them a ton of data, I doubt even the lowest IQ American Black person would bother with this crap when TVs are dirt cheap
I appreciate your optimism, but I have some bad news.
Gotta get one of those and use the TV exclusively to watch porn.
Gonna make them collect data of me jacking off. Now I can safely fulfill my exhibition fetish without committing public indecency.
>free 4k tv and you just have to watch ads that you'll ignore anyway
Anon people go to fake timeshare things and fake "holy shit you won a free car from this mailed-out scratch-off" things all the time, and those are consistently proven to be fake. Poor stupid people will gamble their worthless time to go to those things in the hopes of getting something for free.
If you are actually getting something for free and just have to watch ads that they are inundated with at all times everywhere anyway, people would jump through rings of fire to participate. Shame on the company doing this if it's true, because they could make some money off of televising poor people jumping through rings of fire for a television.
I will NEVER buy this or accept it for free.
Even if they paid me to take one I'd rather punch them square in the balls.
Frick this thing sideways with a rusty rake.

*puts a comedically large license plate tinted cover*
Do these actually stop the israelite traffic cameras that send you $200+ tickets? They're supposedly illegal in my shithole state but I don't give a frick anymore and was thinking about buying one.
They probably do, but if a cop spots you then you're going to get assfricked.
I wouldn't know. But for some reason my part of this shithole Britain-lite I call the Puget Sound (WA state) has a lot of cars lacking license plates. All of the tags are tucked in a corner of the rear window.
Tampering with your license plate is gonna land you in a heap of trouble with the cops if they catch you doing that shit. Just don't fricking speed, moron.
>don't fricking speed
but i have a need
>but i have a need
Yeah, and Jamal over in the county lockup will have all the seed to fill your need.
For Sneed
Speed cameras are dumb and should all be removed but in my shithole they do tell you where they are (the mobile ones fixed obviously do not move) so only an actual fricking moron gets a speeding ticket.
Safety cameras are another thing entirely. Anyone running a red should have their car destroyed.
>anyone running a red should have their car destroyed
Not my problem.
Yes, they will stop automated ticketing based on camersa.
However you will be pulled over the minute a cop sees one of those, and you'll have to pay a much heftier fine than if you just accepted the $200+ ticket.
maybe just dont speed? subhuman moron
This can't be real

Of course it's not real, it's a drawing.
its a real patent, but it never happened because its like 15 years old at this point.
It's real https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2/en
It's real but also not likely to actually happen. Companies patent literally every single idea they ever have just in case it may become relevant at some point.

That only works in burgerland. If you try to patent vague concepts in the civilized part of the world, you'll get laughed out of the office.
burger patents count in eu too though right? So euros can just patent in burgerland and meme on fellow euros regardless.
Not too much into this stuff, but I'd imagine eu only respects burger patents on stuff you actually can patent in eu. IE: not vague concepts/ideas
Nope, there's no patent treaty like that at all. US patents only matter if you want to enter the US market.
In fact EU countries up until now haven't had unified patents even among themselves, only the application process was unified but each country's patent office would make the final decision on its own. That's only changing in June when the EU unitary patent system comes into effect.
wont that be a giant shitshow then?
i imagine if there was no unified patent system a lot of countries have rivaling patents.
Patents are an absolute shitshow anyway. Most companies probably just apply immediately for their patents in all regions they want to do business in and see what sticks.

Nuclear war cannot come soon enough. Fry all the world's electronics and reduce the human population. Only catch is the people in power won't be harmed. They'll simply set-up shop immediately afterwards with all their assets and military strength preserved.

>It's better to reset the world to a state where richgays and politicians have even more power and the ease of access to information via the internet is gone
The rich have never been more powerful than they are now. You would be better off being a peasant in the 1400s than a "middle class" person today.
We have never been more regulated than now.
We have never been more taxed without being invaded and ruled by a foreign power than now.
Invasion and rule by foreign power seems fricking merciful in comparison.
We have never been more propagandized than now.
It's actually insane.
>You would be better off being a peasant in the 1400s than a "middle class" person today.
You are legitimately a sheltered ass kid if you believe this. Even living in a modern day ghetto in section 8 housing is a better life than peasants had. We're literally in the safest period in all of history right now with access to medicine and devices that would seem like fricking sorcery even 100 years ago. You can have access to a near infinite source of knowledge on any conceivable subject you want and teach yourself anything without needing to step foot in a classroom. No, living as a poor ass peasant working 15+ hours a day so you could eat some bread and a handful of beans and then be told that you can't learn to read because that's not for peasants is not a better existence than what you get in even a modern third world country, no matter what the oogabooga left tribe/right tribe political pundit told you to believe in a youtube video.
I'm sure you'd make a great subsistence farmer, good luck this winter.
this reminds me of something, wasn't there like a hoax going around back in 2020 during the pandemic that activision required you to say "black lives matter" in order to press start and get past the main menu in CoD?
Yes but the only people dumb enough to believe it was Ganker
look at where we are now.
i wish it was just a fricking joke.
how would they ever find out if i just dont connect my tv to the internet?
what kind of sensors? light? movement? those can be defeated pretty easily by the crafty. if theyre literal cameras recording you, youd have to be clinically moronic to accept them into your house.

Why not make the display resolution smaller and then display ads on the border? Seems like it would be cheaper than having a 2nd screen and a sensor
>make a 4:3 screen to display ads at the bottom

They probably have much more than that.
I bet it would have a cam recording and a microphone to siphon everything that is going on in their proximity and dump it to the data collectors.
Would probably have you do some meme shit like saying brand name to keep playing the video and other cattle activities.

If they were smarter they would add add overly on top of whatever you are watching instead of second screen.
Giving it away for free though is deemed to fail since people not necessarily are going to use the TV as intended, they should lend it for free
they might have more hidden shit. And the npcs getting it will by far outweight hackers.
>And the npcs getting it
I feel like some scammers will get it first. They'll find a way to get a lot of those things en Masse. Basically like scalpers with Nvidia GPUs except even fiercer because this one is free
i dont think the company is stupid enough to allow it. Frankly if they have no protection many business would love to buy them up. Need tvs for your hotel? Just got all in one.
You think le memey tech startup who think they came up with some brilliant idea and that they are smarter then everyone else will think of such thing? Their only objective is to bait investors into giving them money
their subliminal messaging patents predate meme tech startups. Remember how old tv's are. Its some 1990 shit if not earlier.
Just break the second screen unless they got something set up so breaking it ruins the main screen.

Those conditions wouldn't hold up to scrutiny in a court case anon.
It is in fact, not considered legally enforceable to require an internet connection, nor is it enforceable to dictate how much a person uses a product they lease from you.
It would also not be enforceable to require that people don't cover or block the camera or screen (provided they don't actually modify the device itself in the process, so putting something in front of it would be something they could do nothing about). However it WOULD be viable to have the upper screen stop functioning if the lower screen is ever detected to be blocked/obstructed.
You can enforce no-modify and no-install terms, so the c and d conditions are viable, but the a and b would never hold up.
Also in the case of the terms being broken, it would be up to the owner (Telly, in this case) to retrieve the property, charging an account is certainly possible, but not an enforceable condition (in fact, legally you actually have to allow people to remove any automatic payment methods from your service if they wish in cases like this, so forcing a payment isn't viable, they would have to come take the TV back themselves).
As for the charging thing, you could just do a chargeback anyway.

smart tv ads are very easy to disable. all it requires is blocking the IP on your router.
The TOS says that if "your" TV doesn't phone home often enough and confirm that you're getting the ads, you must either return the TV or you'll get charged for it on your credit card.
>tfw I will actually have to read the TOS now
My coffee table would cover it though.
the good news is that this company has a 0% chance of lasting more than a couple of months so you get the free TV after their ad service shuts down
it's a smart TV so they'll find a way to lock you out
This. They would GENUINELY rather create all that wastage of perfectly fine TVs and have them go to landfill than let the filthy goyim use them when they can't have utter dominion over them.
>company server shuts down
>TV won't start if it can't connect to their ad service
Welcome to the hardware as a service era
any sensor can only detect if the ad screen is covered it cannot detect if the cables going to ad screen have been either cut or bypassed
if they are giving away 500K of these, there'll e more than a few tech savvy beta testers ready to try and jailbreak the device
>it cannot detect if the cables going to ad screen have been either cut or bypassed
you know how your car know that your rear-left brake light is broken, and as such light up picrel on your dashboard? well the same tprinciple will apply for this TV and its secondary screen
I would get one of these just to chuck it in the garden or the garage or something
I'm glad that my worth as a human being on this planet is measured by how much they can advertise to me. It's no wonder people are checking out at record rates.
I've always wanted to start an anti invasive advertising movement or some shit because stuff like this is getting ridiculous.
If get a large enough group of people to do something like buy a competitors product whenever you see an ad you were forced to watch before a video for 1 minute, maybe it would throw a wrench in this bullshit.
Just gotta have an addon for whitelisted adds.
Have a service that only allows benign adds so they are forced to play ball to advertise.
I think it kinda happened already with addblock where they get paid to pass adds but i dont know if they screen them.
>whitelisted adds
here's the list of acceptable ads, by the way:
heres my take:
static image no script - good
scripts/heavy flashing animation - trash
AB+'s standard setting allows non-intrusive adds. Full blocking is something you have to turn on yourself.
All you need to do is become a youtuber or streamer with a few tens of millions subscribers and companies will bend over backwards to appease you
>It has sensors inside the screen to monitor if it is being covered up
proof?
There are people who just have the TV open for background noise even if they barely watch it at all.
Can't imagine being so ADHD.
I have a friend rthat's like that, but even worse:
music in the background, some tv show on his laptop, while playing a game on his TV. When he told me that, I asked him if he could follow the story of either the show or the game, and he answered me that he didn't care about the game's story (which I could understand), but also that he couldn't even remember what the story of the TV show was
for me its having the simpsons or seinfield on in the background while I play video games
The problem for me is not ads exactly, but how ads nowadays are not just advertising a product, but instead trying for force left leaning political crap in my troath. Whenever I set up a new device and forget to install adblocker, soon comes stuff like
>fat chicks
>black fat chicks
>gay couples
>interracial couples
I don't even know what the frick they're advertising, even the people who made the ad don't, aparently.
So no, I'm not watching ads.
anon that's just scraping your porn preferences
More like the preferences of the c**ts who made it. What the frick does a bunch of degenerates dancing with rainbow flags has anything to do with life insurance? I don't want to see that shit
I would be less annoyed, that's for sure. Funny ads like the ones on japanese television wouldn't make me so angry at it
But on the first pozzed ad, I would open the TV and try to find a way to disable either the sensor or the second screen.
What's the point if everything else that is not ads is the same woke shit anyways? Who the frick watches TV nowadays?
So once we get user tailored BASED ads you'll be glued to your TV?
>It has sensors inside the screen to monitor if it is being covered up
lol no it doesn't
that technology doesn't actually exist moron
light sensors have existed for a long time now
cameras don't exist?
I never understand how ads are effective. If I see a product interrupt me from watching or doing what I was intending they instantly go on a shitlist for me. I will never buy from them because frick them.
I think most people in the world are heavily compliant sheep with the "obey" function on default. Anon, you are on Ganker, the chances of you being a based highly disagreable person are already pretty high
its not the ads themselves anymore but just using them as a vessel to get our attention to political shit and even that sort of thing
most people don't use an adblocker so they're constantly bombarded by ads so the products just worm their way into their subconscious.
Anyone who thinks advertising doesn't work on them at all is an idiot, though.
>hurr durr if you know the product exists you'll totally buy it
Get fricked you homosexuals.
>Oh wow I saw your ad for laundry detergent I guess I'm buying that brand now over what I already use.
You need those products to be bought for your advertising to be effective, otherwise it's just wasted money.
Anon, that literally is how advertising works on 99% of people. You are more likely to choose a specific brand if you're aware it exists. There's a reason you used to get bombarded with diaper and tampax ads before technology made advertising more targetted.
Well I'm not that way and I assume most anons aren't either. It's really stupid to assume just because you know something exists means you're going to buy it, and the projection some Black folk are doing by stating it as some fact that applies to everyone is moronic.
>assume
It's a fact though.
If you can't sell Product on sex, you need to sell it on awareness. It's not just the israelitemoney that makes ragebait advertising so common now. Pissing people off means they'll talk about Product to others who in turn will become aware of Products existence.
>muh awareness
That's nice, but awareness of thing =! does not mean thing is being bought, only the likelihood of it being bought are increased.
>Need some obscure thing
>Have never bought it before
>Have a range of options of different brands
>All roughly the same price
>Store brand not an option
>"Well I've heard of this one before" that means that the brand is doing something right and is successful enough to fund advertising
So you have a choice of guaranteed mediocrity with a small chance of being a good product vs taking a complete risk on brands you have no idea on.
the first step of advertising is letting you know product exists. Even if you hate it the chances of you buying product are now higher vs you never even knowing it exists.
I don't think you understand. We have scientifically proven the existence of NPC's
gotta elaborate
I have no idea what that picture is trying to show, moron
OH MY SCIENCE!!! A RANDOM PICTURE OF INTERRED SHIT THIS JUST IS EPIC!
Mouse neurons
after being exposed to an ad, you are aware of the product existence. It doesn't matter howresistant to it you think you are, you will always have a little spot in the back of your head telling you that <product> exists. That's all it take for an ad to work: reminding you, even if annoyingly, that a product exist.
>sensors
Place cover 20cm away
or put another screen or pic of some people facing the ad screen
I'll rather wait a month so the hackerinos get autistic and hack the bloody thing
Just smash the screen and say it arrived that way.
The sensors will still be working, you just won't see shit.
If it's an actual separate screen, it is as easy as unplugging a flat cable
That would get you on the hook for the price of the tv.
If something 'happens' outside of your control, the worst they can do is replace it. Then it could 'happen' again. Blame the shipping company for extra lulz.
>Accidentally drop my hammer 20 times on the bottom screen
Haha whoops how clumsy I am
Just cover it with a towel and some duck tape, anon, come on
NO NEED TO GET VIOLENT
nta but that's been brought up.
there's sensors that detect if the screen is covered or whatever.
keep up anon.
I used to mock the anons who said we were straying from God's light
Not anymore
McDonald's!
You WILL watch the ads.
I VILL NOT WATCH ZE ADS
all ad men should be dragged out into the streets and stoned to death
imagine not just using your tv as a 4th monitor so you can pc in bed without the hassle of shit cable tv
Good thing burger TV went to shit a long time ago so there is 0 need for this device
The CEO is right in that tvs already do all of this but don't pass the savings to you. The camera wouldn't be on low end models but the rest is
*And, you can block the camera. Just not the sensors
how much support for 4k even is there (outside of gaming?)
I don't watch TV nor purchase movies but is shit really being broadcast at 4k?
I pirate all my movies and I don't think ive ever seen resolutions higher than 1080p
you are pirating shit then, 4k and some 8k content is everywhere. HDR content is also there
I've been on pirate bay for like a decade now
have I missed out on the hit new site?
piratebay in 2023 lmao, frick is wrong with you
extremely lazy
what do you use?
Nu-neo-Ganker would love it
>model name israelite4K
Then add led lights on the back of the cover.
Just don't connect it to the internet
new tv's have a way of finding open wifi connections and auto connecting if you like it or not
set up local proxy, change dns
What do you think would be the most efficient use for advertisers?
So far I've been thinking power generation. It would take some initial energy expenditure to get them to the point of combustion, but there is decent energy density here. It's also easy logistically speaking because waste power plants are designed exactly for this task. Or am I underestimating the amount of energy it would take to evaporate the water?
An alternative is animal feed. I'm not really sure what would be more efficient energy wise. It would definitely make for a novelty food item to have advertiser fed pork, although I'm also not sure how pigs taste when they are raised on a carnivorous diet.
Why burn them if you can strap them into treadmills or something?
what if you just use a pihole and block all adds on your network?
sent to prison
The TOS says that they'll ask you to return the TV, and if you fail that they'll charge the TV's price off your credit card you had to register when you signed up.
Chink companies on Amazon will design shutters for thebbottom screen, lmao.
How long do you have to own the TV in order to forgo the ad screen? Is it forever?
>own
>you'll own nothing and be happy
This is just a start to see how many idiots fall for it
Today Ganker learned the microphone in their remote isn't there for your benefit. Any tv in the last ten years is spying on you if it's connected to the internet
Oh yeah, and the PS5 controller. Lol snoys
But why, what is their end game? To hear me fap?
Your consumption habits are sold to advertisers mostly. But who knows
I also have a theory that MS went so hard on making the One an "all in one" entertainment box, complete with built in Kinect with camera and sensors, so they could scrape your cable viewing data and motion data. That was right around the time Microsoft switched to being a data scraping company. But that's just a theory, not one I've ever seen anyone mention though.
they sell ur data to advertisers DUH.
anything that provides you a free service and isn't open source, they profit off your data.

Never take anything thats free... nothing is free in waterworld.
4K displays nowadays are cheap as frick if you're ok with low quality panel this likely is.
>print out a picture of goatse
>hang it facing the tv sensor
>24/7 feed of goatse to ad company
Now this is based.
>Not looping jar squatter or 2 nuns one priest fort their pleasure
NGMI
so what happens if I have to go take a dump and leave the room? do sensors shut everything down?
You have to raise your hands and yell "Dump!" when you're done to reactivate the TV.
>It has sensors inside the screen to monitor if it is being covered up
Why would you cover it up? That's just going to be a heat trap. You open it and remove the ribbon cable that's connected to the panel. As far as the TVs hardware is concerned, it's still running and playing fine.
>acquire free tv
>open up and disable/repurpose bottom screen
thanks
It's in the terms of service you sign that you won't do that, otherwise you have to pay them 500 bucks for the TV.
>terms of service
kek, good luck enforcing that or even discovering it was violated in the first place. You tech illiterates are so dumb.
Literally the entire point of the free TV is to show you ads and sell data they collect on you. The thing has a built in camera and microphone and requires you to have the TV connected to the internet at all times. You also need to provide them with a bank account that they'll immediately put a $500 charge on the moment you break their terms. Yes, that's enforceable and you're not going to outisraelite them at their own game.
>You tech illiterates are so dumb.
please, explain in detail you would Black person them out of their shitty tv
>take picture infront of the tv
>print
>put infront of the camera
Cleanest option would probably be
>remove bottom screen
>attach dummy plug to spoof video output
If the ads were unobtrusive and sleekly designed like those for important things like stock or weather or whatever, I wouldn't even be mad, but we all know it'll be whatever dogshit thing that pays for a slot
>It has sensors inside the screen to monitor if it is being covered up
People literally make little devices to fool sensors like these. It's how people fricked around with Tesla's self driving a few years back.
>haven't turned on a television in over five years
>all things I need from it can be got on PC
Television is a dying breed, if they wanna milk the last generation of old people and some console gays before it goes extinct let em.
Couldn't you just put a mirror in front of it so that the movement from the ads itself fools the sensors?
Just disconnect the wires going to the display
>that obvious camera on the top bezel
>"free" tv
>spies on you with a camera so they can sell all the data
>constantly shows you ads
>likely a cheapo IPS panel
>trusting the UK government with access to a camera in your living room
Shiggy diggy
you'd have to pay me to watch television, not the other way around.
4K TVs can be gotten around 100-200 dollars now. What's the point?
Also that shit will get hacked right away
I haven't watched TV in 15 years.
What a horrible waste of money, time and space.
>rewire the microphone into a device that feeds an mp3 into the audio signal on a loop
>Do the same with the video cameras and some vid grabbed from youtube
>The device gets its uninterrupted spy audio and video and you get a garbage cheapo TV not worth the effort
Anyways I'm guessing no one will ever actually wants these things so eventually they will become a packaged in deal with your phone and/or internet plan. Like those garbage internet TV channel services that they are always trying to push on you.
That's the thing, it's not worth the effort. If you'd be willing to go through all that and risk a 500 dollar charge you could just wait for a sale or get a higher quality used or open box tv for cheaper than that off of Amazon or Best Buy and not have to deal with all that shit.

>It has sensors inside the screen to monitor if it is being covered up
And? What is it going to do, set the cover on fire?
They tell you to return the TV or pay 500 bucks to keep it if you break their terms.
can I spread my ass cheeks to the camera?
