A lot of smart TVs bake in ads. I had a used sony bravia for like a frusterating three days before I put it on the side of the road, because it would just boot loop and the ui had like 3 seconds worth of input latency. I never connected it to the network, so it helpfully showed me ads for the various sony studio movies that were coming out at the time of the TVs manufacturing about 10 years ago.
