This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The Nvidia shield ships with the exact same OS as many of these smart TVs
Fair enough, but this setup won't display an ad on top of my game console feed, like shown above. No guarantee a brand new Android TV won't start doing this after, could even start doing this after a firmware update.
When I bought my Sony TV from Costco, it let me skip all of the agreements and sign-ups and accounts the day that I bought it. Fast forward a few months later after the return window was over, I turned it on one day and I had to agree to all the different things and it started asking me for an account, if I recall.
I will never buy another smart TV ever in my life.
Its pretty hard to avoid at this point if you want anything larger than a big computer monitor or a refresh rate above 60hz.
Yeah, I'll probably go with a projector setup next time. Will probably be my luck that they'll only be selling smart projectors at that point haha
Projector you're looking at 3 grand for a decent one
It's still better. It uses stock android base. So normal play store.
