Good hardware, but shady data collection and ads by Samsung
First off, the reason for the low rating is not because of the quality of the hardware. The TV looks fantastic. This issue is with Samsung's smart TV software. A week after purchasing this, Samsung pushed an update which disabled all smart TV functionality unless I agreed to interest based ads. To get it to work again, you have to agree to allow them to collect data on you to serve you ads, then go deep into the privacy menu and opt out of it again. While you're there, you should also opt out of most of the other things in the privacy menu. I already paid for this TV, I don't want to see ads in my menu.
