You connect TVs to WiFi?
Nobody:
Nosense: Let’s put it on the side so you have to look at the cable all the time
Actual mini LED (3.5 to 5k nits!!) and display port?
(And a price to match it, but it's "only" at the upper end of normal consumer TVs.)
Ok, where it the enshitification catch?
It's Hisense and they will likely be forcing ads on you at every opportunity.
Hardware and software laden with ads have, unfortunately, become part and parcel of modern life, but there are occasions when the hunt for revenue goes too far. One of those cases comes from Hisense, known across Western markets as a budget electronics brand. The firm's TV sets have repeatedly come under fire for forcing non-skippable ads when switching inputs, turning the TV on, navigating to the home screen, and even when switching channels — all changes that took effect unilaterally after purchase, reportedly even for users who had all ad-related options disabled.
