HOCKEY OWNS
FUCK YEAH


tv makers didn't think you've been seeing enough ads lately so now they're gonna show you some ads when you change the volume or turn the tv on

quote:

The Viera Connect or Smart Viera feature on new Panasonic TVs now includes a banner ad that pops up every time you turn on the TV. Here's how to disable it.

When I reviewed the Panasonic TC-PVT50 series, I was annoyed to see that the latest software update caused a banner ad to appear for a few seconds whenever I turned on the TV. It disappeared quickly and only popped up upon power-on, but it was still obnoxious. The first thing I wondered was whether I could turn it off.

if you plug your tv into the internet you're a huge idiot hth

I know this gets posted about once a month in YVCPOS but is it possible to just get a goddamn screen with zero features without paying through the nose for 'digital signage' models?

no because like laptops and computers the price of a consumer display is subsidized by shitware, netflix, ads and selling all your usage habits to everyone under the sun

i thought u wanted 120hz cause 24fps and 30fps both divide into it evenly but everything above that is poo poo

240hz mode allows for 48fps content but that's so rare that no one cares
