advertising is a blight. a product you pay for showing you advertising is unacceptable. if your tv shows ads in the volume indicator, return it.

the fine foks at megacorps spending untold jillions on questionably effective ads on cable tv paid for my upbringing and way of life, and for that, i honor them - and will dedicate my life to perpetuating their shared delusion. bravo to the brave men and women in the advertising field.

i dont wanna pay for things so the less that is available to me for free, the more time i have to do real things that arent media-consumption thats probably a good thing ps: obviously ads are blocked always. if i cant block the ad, i just leave

we only have broadcast tv and our TV is dumb. we have a wdtv and a chromecast hooked up and it is good. no ads ever! we even bought an old nest that doesn't have the audio ads when you walk by!

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i have never understood why projectors are so consistently special snowflakes in that they need confirmation to turn off. sure, they are not instantaneous to turn back on, but neither is a modern tv because if you let your projector gently caress up the warmup/cooldown cycles the bulb explodes and you have an angry customer on the phone Uncle at Nintendo posted:the only reason i can think of why a projector would turn itself on like that is a lot of them are mounted to a ceiling and plugged into a ceiling outlet so people probably just want to flick a light switch to turn it on infocus is good. my school's equipment checkout dept has these eensy weensy little infocus LED projectors that cost a zillion dollars and look like ye olde picoprojector but are as bright as the high-end projectors of olde and they're sharp and they barely get warm the xenon thing still outmatches cree's brightest single LED. but it probably won't for long.

i went to a san francisco arts commission show and they were testing some fancy ultra-short-throw laser projectors for Christie by projecting an image like 20x10ft 6 feet away from a wall with no distortion projectors are pretty neat i want to build a flash projector using a long telephoto lens and an old camera with a hole cut in it but i haven't quite got around to it yet

reading this thread and it seems that while projectors are cool, tvs fuckin suck humpbacked tech worker DLL lackey: "euuuuueeehh i spent four thousand dollars on my new television and it shows me ads and spies on me and gets malware! i dont understand!!!" enlightened blue-collar proletariat: "I bought a used TV that fits nicely within my budget. It looks great and does exactly what I want it to. You might want to take a critical look at your choices." php programming RoR gently caress wad: "no! idiot! that's not what i want!! i want a new tv!" salt of the earth wise fellow and overall good guy: "I guess we'll both have to live with what we've got." turns to the camera and winks

my tv is an old Panasonic plasma and its too stupid to have ads. my parents have 2 Samsung lcds that are pretty recent and neither of them have ads. they do have this bug or something tho where they automatically turn motion interpolation back on definitely without any intervention from my dad.

i don't think google even has an audio-only ad product. wouldn't put it past some genius PM to decide that "promo-ing" dropcam/the smoke detectors in the UI doesn't count as an ad though

i have a samsung 4k "smart tv" for my computer monitor*, it does not have ads. i don't let it connect to the internet either, but there are no ads anywhere on this thing. what poo poo-rear end bargain basement tvs are you people buying? like the best buy doorcrasher specials or something? *it's curved, but since i sit 2 feet away from it, that actually works really well.

I did not purchase this, and I also told the person wanting it that as it was not my job to go get best buy door busters i would not be doing that (and recommended them some other displays of similar quality). As that person has a business credit card of their own, and I cannot prevent them from connecting it to the network. . . i said "welp, the display turns on, sound actually runs sound through hdmi properly, that's the end of my support on this display"
