Let's hear it - did anyone score one of those free 4K TVs that Telly was giving away? I think they were handing out 500,000 of them. The TVs were free because they come with a second screen that constantly pushes advertisements. The television looks pretty upscale for a 55-inch freebie. If you scored one, let us know how it turned out. If you didn't, would you ever go for it in the future? What's your take on the free Telly 4K TV?

I'd never heard of it. But taking a quick look at the come on. No. Capital H no. Just another slick revenue stream generating scheme. Not worth the aggravation being constantly bombarded by subluminal and blatant advertising.
After my experience with Alexa pushing ads on me, I'll never get another smart TV if I can help it, not even if it's free. I read about those free TVs on Wired and wondered how they'd know if someone covered up the second screen as a way to ignore the ads. That tells me that there must be some heavy-duty surveillance going on.

Can't say I've heard of it. I find it unimaginable that the company can recoup their costs just from advertisements. It's a novelty scheme at best. I'd probably sign up for one if it was offered again, though, just to see what it's all about.
