  TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it’s input shouldn’t exist.

    I at least like audio with the display.

      Instructions unclear, TVs now display audio via AI — Samsung

    TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it’s input shouldn’t exist.

    Some of that input could do with a bit of tweaking though.

    I wouldn’t mind if the TV was able to do things with the audio track, like remove background music, or lift the volume of people speaking, or erase laugh tracks/live audience hooting& hollering.

    There’s probably similar manipulation that you could do on the video side (eventually, once TVs stop getting the worst processors ever, not here and now). Imagine a prompt that says “Airbrush every recognisable brand name on-screen so that it blends with the background”.

    I seriously doubt if any major manufacturer would do that kind of thing though, so better get working on jailbreaking those TVs.

      Sorry, the best we can do is always showing you subtitles by default, and not letting you permanently change that.

      Instructions unclear. Added Starbucks coffee to every season of game of thrones

    What you’re asking for is a monitor, not a TV. The last TV I’ve seen that is this limited still had a picture tube - and it wasn’t even the last CRT TV I’ve used (we actually had a very late one with HDMI). Regardless of how silly AI features are, there’s a middle ground.

      This, but unironically. When I had a small apartment I just had a big monitor with everything hooked up to it in the main room, and it was great. Now I spend all my time at my desk because I hate the stupid TV.

    Nvidia’s AI upscaler is pretty dope though. I wouldn’t mind seeing that fleshed out more.

      Yup. One of several reasons why the Shield TV Pro is still the best streaming box. Using a smart TV after having gotten used to this device is painful.

  TL;DR:

  1. Using AI to ask your TV questions
  2. Spatial 3D sound
  3. Integrate your calendar with your TV
  4. AI Energy Mode
  5. AI picture upscaling

  Not just a pointless “AI bad” article, actually some decent (though very brief) points

    4. AI Energy Mode

    It suddenly needs a gigawatt datacenter to do its job?

      AI has become a meaningless buzzword you can apply to anything, so no

    I was confused by the “Spatial 3D sound” one, because spatial audio is genuinely pretty awesome. But yeah, the whole head tracking thing is basically useless and I immediately disable it when I can.

      Spatial audio is a scam unless you have some really nice equipment
