TVs have gone completely the opposite direction of what I dreamed of.
On top of all these ads and snooping, there are so few TVs with a smooth, responsive UI. Seriously, even in top brands the UI chugs along at a snail's pace. And most of the time the UI design itself is terrible.
Who cares about 8K if the UI takes 8 seconds to load.
My "smart" TV takes a good seven or eight seconds to recognise that I'm madly trying to turn the volume down after turning the TV on because the last thing the kids watched was so quiet they had to turn the volume way up.
Volume controls used to be instantaneous. Why the degradation of user experience alongside incredible progress in technology?
