    Read a little. Sounds like a nightmare. Paraphrase, can display ads on main display when main display is not being used.

    TVs are too cheap for this to be worth it.

    If it is offered here I might consider it. I could cover the bottom screen, or presumably it would have a separate power lead so could be turned off permanently.

    "While ads shouldn’t interrupt whatever you’re watching on the main display, Telly’s chief strategy officer, Dallas Lawrence, tells The Verge that ads might utilize both displays when you’re not using the TV. “When the Theatre display (top screen) is not in use, the ad unit could come to life in a fun way connecting both,” Lawrence says."


    So kill power to the main display when you're not using it.

    Edit: On further reading:

    "Equipped with a camera and microphone and paid for by the brands that show you ads, having a Telly in your home has clear privacy implications that might go beyond the tracking used by Vizio, Roku, LG, Samsung, and other TV manufacturers. On its viewing and activity data policy, Telly says it “may collect information about the audio and video content you watch, the channels you view, and the duration of your viewing sessions,” along with information about “how you interact” with the TV. That includes your search queries, the buttons you select, as well as the “physical presence of you and any other individuals using the TV at any given time.”

    Yeah, nah.

    Edit 2: Their website TOS says it is only available in the US.

    Hey. Whatever happened to 3D TV. Years ago i was privy to test one of those TV's and it was amazing!

    Since that trend i heard nothing more on development of them.

    Wearing a goggle you felt and looked like you was right there with whatever TV program was on.

    My parents had bought one of those. I recommended for them not to as I expected it to be dead within a couple of years. Which it was. I guess as long as they enjoyed it at the time. Just another passing fad. But this free TV? It has a camera too? No way would that be in my house.

    Actually if it wasn't so pricey. and of course didn't come with tracking camera, i would jump on one. The demonstration model i tested was Awesome, but amazing how it just as quickly faded away into oblivion so quickly when it did.
