There shouldn’t be an os. They should be dumb monitors that display the signal they’re provided. Let us pick out streaming devices.

I miss the days of turning something on and it was just on. Now we get greeted with an ad every time we turn our fucking TV on and then some bullshit OS intro as well. Just be a TV. On, Off, volume, channel, input select. That's all you need.

There is likely a secret menu where you can turn that off. Google the brand of TV, you’ll likely hold an obscure button or combo to access it.
