Why can\u2019t Apple just make a television????? \u00a0I had to go through 10 screens to manually opt-out of multiple terms & conditions that I never agreed to initially and then I reset the TV and went through a bunch of hoops and I still can\u2019t get these ads to go away!\u00a0<\/p>\n

My girlfriend was wondering why I was opposed to Samsung appliances in our home. They were affordable, beautiful and full of features. I told her Samsung sucks. When I ordered this TV, I had to have a personal moment to contend with the fact that I couldn\u2019t afford a non-Samsung TV with all of the feature I wanted and I bought this as the first Samsung product I\u2019ve bought since 2010 when I picked up their top of the line 55\u201d TV at the time.<\/p>\n

24 hours after ownership, I\u2019m regretting this purchase 100%. I use Apple\u2019s hardware & software for a reason. They respect the privacy of their users. Samsung is completely opposite. I should have known better:<\/p>\n

See that ad? I can\u2019t get it to go away short of unplugging the TV from LAN which would mean I couldn\u2019t use Netflix \/ YouTube or Amazon Video in 4K which is why I bought the TV. This is disgusting. If I can\u2019t figure out an option, I\u2019m returning the television.\u00a0<\/p>\n
