In the middle of this year, U.S. media reported that Samsung is already preparing for TV-side advertisements, in which advertisers are sought through Samsung and external advertising companies to sell advertising space.

It is reported that some users have seen changes in their system interface since the beginning of this month, and several ad spots have appeared in Samsung. These ad slots cannot be undone unless the user interrupts the network connection.

However, AdAge reports that, overall, Samsung TV ads have less interference with users. For example, a certain advertising space will occupy three-fourths of the screen space, but the premise is that users interact with the ads.

In the social news commentary website Reddit, many Samsung TV users expressed dissatisfaction with the behavior of inserting advertisements. Samsung said that these advertisements will be displayed according to the interests of consumers. In addition, advertisements can be removed through settings. However, some users pointed out that even if they were set up according to Samsung's saying, they would still see advertisements.
