All the TVs nowadays are pretty obnoxious with their bars staying up for a few seconds too long between turning them on and switching to the source. I suppose that might be the price we pay when we get a 75" for under $500. My samsung TV forced me to accept an update I didn't ask for and approve the changed "terms of service" as if I read that. I could have given them rights to my firstborn for all I know.
I just stopped using a tv, period..

My Hisense TV screen also broke in half by itself and they refused to honor the warranty.
Pro tip, buy a "Commercial Didplay" not a SmartTV and be happy.
So glad my TV is a dumb-as-shit model from the early 00s I bought secondhand for about $30

I took the money I was going to spend on a TV and bought a 50 inch on facebook market place. Then, I got a last-gen gaming PC. Is it tedious? yes, but I can play video games and watch whatever I want without getting spied on so its a fucking win. *ads from changing the inputs and channels on your own device?" fuck you. I hope this tv lasts the next two decades.
