My Frame TV developed a dim strip in the centre of the screen after four years of ownership.
Samsung would only proceed with organising a repair if I updated the firmware to the latest version. Something I deliberately held back on to avoid the introduction of ads.
Now I have new firmware. And new ads.
Oy for Samsung to tell me that spares are no longer available for my four year old TV, and would I like to buy a new one (with more ads).
Now everywhere I look I see Samsung displays being used in residential and commercial settings, and I'd estimate 30% of them have noticeably inconsistent backlights, with bright or dark spots.
Same thing but for AndroidTV: https://github.com/mdrzn/cleanframe-tv
It is interesting how little AI written text it takes for me to be grossed out. Just one sentence it seems.
It's like textual uncanny valley.
We have 2 Frame TVs. It's a great product if you aren't someone who obsesses over picture quality and have the budget.
I'd love a clean UI to accompany the minimalistic design of the TV itself...but this looks a bit early for me to try :).

Never again.
I've also noticed a lot of early degradation on edge lit Samsung TVs. Their TVs with backlight zones seem to fair much better.
Looks awesome, had I had something like this a year ago, I wouldn't of bought an nvidia shield. The Tizen home screen is so busy..
