This is definitely on the horizon and future generations won’t even be aware of a time when you didn’t pay a subscription for every aspect of life. (TikTok screencap)

I don’t know if this is helpful, but I recently bought a 55” Hisense and I just plug my old-school Roku USB stick into it. The UI is super basic and ad-free. It’s not 4k or anything, but for streaming shows and playing PS5 it works like a charm.

Here's what RTINGS says about one of the Hisense TVs:

Ads Yes

Opt-out No

Suggested Content in Home Yes

Opt-out of Suggested Content No

Unfortunately, like most TVs on the market, the smart interface contains ads, and you can't disable them.

And someone on another site has a video showing an ad playing as soon as their Hisense TV is turned on. The person posting says it doesn't happen every time. And, maybe it's disabled if you have it set to turn on using "input 2" or whatever your USB stick is connected to. But, an unskippable ad on start-up means I'm not going to risk buying a Hisense TV.
