I'm getting from context that this is a smart tv displaying an advertisement, but what the fuck is it even advertising here? A baseball game? Why is the countdown to-the-hour? Why does the player look like a drawing instead of a photo? Why is it specifically that player and not just 'dodgers game tomorrow!"..? It almost looks as if it's an in-game notification for an MLB-Manager game.

If it were a burger-king commercial I'd be upset, but the inscrutability of this as an ad at all actually infuriates me.

Is there an open-source version of Google TV and similar smart TV software? I feel like i read about one quite recently.

when i order a screen in asia to germany i pay a lot less taxes than when ordering a tv or smarttv. so buying a smartTV is kinda dumb anyways.

I just bought this dumb tv. Couldn't be happier.

It's not a good tv, but it's the biggest one I could fit on my desk and it has absolutely no "smart" features.

If that's real, then it's full refund or terrorism upon both the vendor and manufacturer.

Anybody else have a weird level of fixation on the baseball player and the game character being in the same pose? Like, "maybe it's watching" kind of fixation?

First rule of smart TVs: if you really have to buy a smart TV, then never connect it to the internet!

Oops, stepped on another $1200 landmine did you? Should have researched where you put your foot. Everyone knows this neighborhood is littered with landmines. No, there's nothing we can really do about it except hand out these exhaustive charts and navigation tools. Of course they need to constantly get re-updated and are themselves periodically hijacked by the pro-landmine industry to turn into a second-tier grift. But that just means you have to research who you research for your TV research.

Don't worry, you'll get it eventually. God gave us two legs for a reason.
