I had thought modern TVs were smart enough to recognize that no one, under any circumstances, has ever wanted to see or hear a static screen: my previous TVs (manufactured by TCL) never actually showed the infamous blaring snow signal, replacing it instead with a silent, blue screen if cable was not connected or if the signal was lost for a particular channel.

I am greeted with blaring loud static signal from my unconnected coaxial input

But this $3000 "smart" TV has for some reason taken to the opinion that I definitely want to see and hear the unfiltered static signal in all its 5.1 Dolby Digital glory

Love the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technology as well as it makes watching movies an amazing experience as if you're at the theater!

HD SMART TV which works the same as it did the day I bought it.

I often sit to the side of the TV in my recliner and the picture is as good as if I were sitting directly in front of the TV.
