People seem to be very passionate about tv Brand’s.
I like to look at TVs when I go to the store and personally just looking at them side by side for me visually I would tend to want to pick between LG or Panasonic. But my friend prefers Samsung but it always looks tooooo vibrant to me.
I just want one without any smart features or preprocessing. Signal in via hdmi, rca, or radio waves. Attempt to reproduce exactly the image the signal describes out with no frames waiting in a buffer or other added latency.
I think a lot of us do. I just want a good image and hook up an Apple TV and a computer. I can’t stand using Android TV. I’ve never seen an example of it not being slow. And with ads now becoming a thing I don’t want it even more.
I'm on the same page with you. Actually, I was planning to do the same thing, but the one I got turns on in 2 seconds flat, and there's no feel of lag. It works reasonably snappy, which doesn't make you say "C'mon!". I think it's quite nice.
The video processor in that thing is very nice too. I'm using it with out of the box settings, and I don't feel the need to tweak anything, yet.
The model I have doesn't have blatant ads (and it's not a Samsung), so I'm a happy camper.
I had a Panasonic using the old My Homescreen. That thing was fast. When I moved I sold the TV as the temp apartment had a TV. It was a Samsung TV and omg its is slower than any Android TV Box I've ever tried. Took ~40s before I could use the TV.
In Taiwan my father in law has a Sony TV with Android, it's a tiny bit slow, but it's acceptable. There's no Ads on it yet.
I'm yet to experience ad's but seems like alot of people are beginning to, makes me worried.
