I wonder how you feel about the Telly TV deal now that you probably know something about it. They tell you up front what data they actually collect, which is what you're watching in the TV. Lower right area about 8" wide is where ads that are on that screen. The TV does not spy on you.
Most people are really uninformed so this stuff dominates. Day 1 DLC in videogames was hated at first, but people didn't boycott the games, so now it's everywhere.
@nufsioohey don’t justify it that way. Those tvs work offline as a tv. You can hook up any peripherals you want to it, doesn’t even have to be a Roku. You can use a botched email if you want. This one can record and listen to you!

I just got this TV delivered yesterday & its great. The 2nd screen doesn't really show alot of ads. Occasionly it will show a ad full screen on the 2nd screen buts its only for like 2-3 sec.

I feel like it wouldn’t be as concerning if it was based purely on tv watching. The fact that it has a camera, microphone (I’m assuming, I don’t know if it was mentioned), and HAS to be connected to your wifi at all time seems very suspect. Big companies get hacked, I don’t know if I’d trust this relatively new idea. And the fact they can stop it at any time or when it’s not being used there’s ads playing. Your own home becomes like a billboard you see on the highway.
@@Zodiacman16 I never said I didn’t understand it, I get why. It just doesn’t make sense for the person actually getting the TV. I feel like nowadays you could get a decent TV, maybe not 4K, for a good price if you saved up. I guess there are some who see free and don’t worry about what they’re actually giving away for that.
500 bic my @ss TOS states that they reserve the right to charge you UP TO 1000 bux. Mines coming the 18th and my anxiety is rising cuz my rural internet is trash. We'll see how it goes.
Ok I’m definitely within the target market for this type of TV. Essentially I can’t afford to get a 4K TV and I personally don’t really care if my user data gets sold and I can easily deal with adds (heck I literally have never used any streaming websites that you can have access for free but you normally would have to go through a lot of adds premium subscriptions that will takeaway the adds or any form of ad blockers at all). Personally to get a free TV and all you need to accept is practically being ok with your user data getting sold and looking a adds is completely reasonable honestly. If I hear anyone say else wise I would need to ask them “then how would you legitimately think someone can get a free 4K TV then?” The only issue I would have is the always have to be on Wi-Fi. Now it being on Wi-Fi is of course not the issue here but is how will the company registered TVs that do disconnect from Wi-Fi? Like you will have to pay $500 (or in my case I live in the UK so I’ll would be paying it in £ equivalent) fine if you have your device disconnected from the Wi-Fi for a certain amount of times but how exactly will that work, what are their protocols for people that are having issues with their Wi-Fi which causes the TV to have to be disconnected, what about changing to different Wi-Fi and does it count on being off Wi-Fi if you turn off the TV? That’s only a few issues that I have that they would need too give us clarity involving also need to be connected to Wi-Fi because the likelihood of you getting a fine for something that’s out of your actual control is a pretty high risk in happening.
Well you have to be connected to "a" WiFi at all times, I don't think it has to be the same wifi. Apparently they allow some time every month so if you have wifi problems, it's fine. How much time? I don't know. Also, your TV can't be off (idk if that means it can't be off at all or for how long but there is a clause for that) or you will be in violation of the TOS. I just think it's a really bad deal because 55" 4K TVs are really cheap and specially given how extensive their TOS is, I think you can violate them pretty easily and then you are on the hook for $500 which is ridiculous. On top of that if they brick your TV (which I think they do) if you violate TOS is just beyond insane. Also, I don't know if this service is even available in the UK. I only see it as being available in US and here you can buy a new 55" 4K smart TV for ~$250, and you don't have to deal with any of this. I don't even know if UK would allow something like this given their laws are more strict than US laws.
Definitely a "no" from me. I would pay more of a premium for peace of mind knowing I am not being watched and tracked at all times when using the device. Also, I do prefer random ads. I don't need to be advertised to constantly and pressured to spend money always. If I want a product, I will seek it out on my own and do research on it. I am aware I am definitely a minority in this regard though
Yall are so dumb ... everyone in this comment section is literally being tracked from everyrhing you do ... from your cell phone, to your wifi, to even watching tv...
@@Rickbonespro You can reduce the amount of that if you know how lmao. And reducing the amount of tracking is enough for me, I don't bend over backwards and take it like you supposedly do.
I would like to know how much power its consuming aswell. If it is running ads 24/7 if you watch it or not, i bet its going to consume alot making your utility bill high.
Is it a $500 fine or does that unlock the tv to use as you wish? If the the tv and sound bar tech is even halfway decent, that’s not a terrible deal if you stop sharing data.
$500 for a 55" TV is a pretty bad deal. On November 19 2022 I bought a 75" 4K smart LG TV from bestbuy and it was $550. That same TV is now $450. It has no microphone and no camera, and you can use it completely offline. It doesn't even require internet connection for initial setup. Samsung also had the same TV for the same price, I just chose the LG. I just checked and bestbuy has an insignia 55" 4K TV with fire tv for $260. Point is, $500 is a lot of money for a TV nowadays specially in US. Other markets where you can get Chinese TVs, are even more affordable. I don't think selling your data, specially in such a way and so much of it, should ever be acceptable. Let alone for just $500. I understand that's where the industry is heading but that doesn't make it right. As for your question, I imagine it's a fine and they will brick the TV if you breach the contract given how extensive their TOS is. And even if they let you keep the TV after you pay the fine, I doubt they would stop collecting data altogether.
@@muazqamar Obviously depends on everyone’s personal budget and situation. Of course you can get a low end, edge lit 55” tv, even from the name brands, for cheap in the us but if the local dimming, screen uniformity, brightness capabilities and other tech specs approaches mid-tier budget models like the TCL 5/6 (which runseries and the soundbar is decent enough, that price itself is a reasonable deal.
Honestly I kinda love it, but like, in a dystopian scifi kinda way. In reality I'd much rather just pay outright for my devices and services and keep my privacy intact and my life ad free. Of course, I can't afford all the premium this and that right now so I do have ads in my life, but they're not targeted and I keep things generally as private as possible (I also prefer keeping things as on-device as possible too; cloud should only be for backups and streaming services for the most part, not for absolutely everything). Still, I think ad supported low/zero cost products are perfectly valid provided advertisers are respectful of their viewers (which they have a horrible track record with of course). But I'd never want that to be the only option.
they had me up until the camera. i use google everything, so my data is already out in the ethos. i'm not worried about my data. the camera that has to be on? i don't know about that chief.
I'd cover the camera. The o ly way they'd know it's covered would be if they view the camera data. Andif they say "oh, your camera is covered, you can't do that, then I say you can have the TV back lol
I'd be more open to this if it didn't have a camera & if I wasn't going to be worried about my internet going out for just long enough for them to fuck me over But however the idea of the 2 screens is actually awesome especially for sports (even more so if they display who scored for the folks who do those sports pools) but also to perhaps display the time, a countdown to maybe when a certain thing is going to be live like a new episode or a UFC PPV & even having the guide being displayed down there.. so while the second display would be cool it's definitely for imo a niche audience who will probably just use it for one thing & not multiple things
I have read through the terms of service personally And you can Have your WiFi go out for periods of time And They make you download an app so you can contact customer support Incase of Any problems so id presume you can Let them know Your Tv isn’t working properly or your service Is out And they Will reach out to Be shipped the tv back before Charging you
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. They brought up that issue in the video as well but I think there are cameras and microphones around the TV so if you're not actually sitting in front of it or whatever, that's a breach of contract? I'm not sure. I don't even mind the second screen but the whole package sounds really scary and off-putting. Not to mention, completely useless (at least for me). The fact that you can't skip content and it's basically like regular cable is a huge downgrade compared to what you can do with streaming services and youtube.
Watching Hulu a couple nights ago the only ad they showed was a golden retriever puppy that looked to be eating a turd. I for an hour long Justified episode that was the only ad
Depending on what kind of phone it is, you can turn a LOT of this kind of stuff off. To the point where it's basically not sharing anything. Here you don't have a choice.
This is incredibly exploitative. This kind of data collection and advertising should not be used as a punishment for someone who can't afford a TV. For anyone considering buying this: consider looking into the used market. Every day people are replacing TVs less than 10 years old and giving them away or selling them for next to nothing. There are options out there that don't require you to trade away your privacy.
Those ads are going to be worthless. They're trying to serve ads to people who are either poor or really like saving money. Not exactly a target demographic.

Genuinely curious. Does it make sense to show ads to people who prefer to not pay for their own TV?
Hahaha actually a good question
Some people may not care to share their data, so to them, they'll get a free TV. It doesn't mean they won't buy things they see advertised.
Had same question. 😂
Even if you don't pay for the TV, you're definitely buying other stuff. Can't get everything for free in this world, ads still work.
lol not sure theyre hitting right audience
Somehow this seems both completely legitimate and entirely fraudulent at the same time...
@GH0STST4RSCR34M advertising is as invasive as tiktok
dont think this tv and company practices are legal in any country outside of the US
I agree But am actually Being shipped the tv Currently
At least they are being honest of collecting data, just not the charge they will make if they feel your not connected to WiFi. From what i've seen the TV is good quality but if you want to put up with ads and risking a expensive charge, thats up to you

If I had no money for a tv I would rather watch youtube on my phone, instead of having a creepy big screen that never turns off.

Watching Hulu a couple nights ago the only ad they showed was a golden retriever puppy that looked to be eating a turd. I for an hour long Justified episode that was the only ad
Is that for personal use only?
Can hotels get it? Can a hospital or any other places that uses a tv for kiosking get it?
We do this already with our phones, except we pay for them too. At least you get the device for free this time
Depending on what kind of phone it is, you can turn a LOT of this kind of stuff off. To the point where it's basically not sharing anything. Here you don't have a choice.
I like your name and picture lol
This is incredibly exploitative. This kind of data collection and advertising should not be used as a punishment for someone who can't afford a TV.
For anyone considering buying this: consider looking into the used market. Every day people are replacing TVs less than 10 years old and giving them away or selling them for next to nothing. There are options out there that don't require you to trade away your privacy.
How do they not know what Pluto TV is 😂
I would put a tint film on the bottom screen
Paramount owns PlutoTV but Paramount+ is way better. Paramount makes the best movies.
The widgets are starting off basic. It's the weather, stock, sports, and news like shown in the pics. 4 sports at first, more coming later
1:20 im looking at you sky sports 👀
So they want my first born child also right ?
So they are targeting people who don't have money to buy a TV or are too greedy to pay money for products? 🤔🤔🤔
Shoutout Pluto TV. Its an absolute honor to work with an incredible team!
Pluto has been awesome since 2013. It is like cable was in 2004 during off prime time hours including on-demand and tons of reruns.
I like MKBHD's car more it has more details like headlines and door
How has no one mentioned that this is exactly like the screen from 1984 lmao
Would be good for stores and sports bar.
Idk if that's allowed in TOS, but that's the only place I can think of where this could work.
Now imagine coming back from a business trip, sitting down at the TV, and noticing that most of the ADs for pregnant women and fried chicken...
that’s FOUL 💀
This tv would be sick once they hack it after its released. Lol. If you can hack it to show different stuff might be with 500 for S&G's
Another step towards 1984
Honestly, this sounds about right nowadays.. lol
This feels genius and a terrible idea at once. 😅
Not me!!
All smart tvs already collect and sell your data to advertisers. I buy it daily.
"Sure David... it makes no sense" 💀
Samsung: write that down, write that down
Those ads are going to be worthless. They're trying to serve ads to people who are either poor or really like saving money. Not exactly a target demographic.
couldn’t I just put the tv into my second wifi network?
Eventually you would pay to not have ads i bet
Kinda reminds me of this book called "Qualityland"
Cool, where do I sign up?? My data is out there already and I prefer tailored ads anyway, bring it on!
I won't even have a smart speaker let alone something like this, it's just creepy
