I have recently bought my first ever TV. A samsung The Serif 2019. Last years model because cheap. Amazing picture. Nice design. Absolutely shitty software

- This thing has an anti virus scanner installed

- There is a task manager that shows you the current cpu and memory consumption

- Disabling automatic brightness adaption requires you to enter the debug menu which you can only enter via a normal remote and not the included smart remote (which costs 50 to replace and does not have any number keys!). So I had to buy one off amazon. If you don’t do that you _will_ notice annoying brightness changes.

- Oh and also disable everything with auto or smart in the picture settings

I bought an AppleTV even before the Samsung arrived. Worth it.

And friends don’t let friends connect their TVs to WiFi

Pro tip: if your work uses TVs in meeting rooms and the font looks weird, adjust the sharpness.

After I found that out everything in previous meeting rooms made sense. When you unbox a normal TV for computer use you gotta turn down the sharpness and nobody does
