Telly offers a free 55-inch 4K TV with a built-in soundbar and AI-powered news segments, but requires users to accept constant, unavoidable advertising on a secondary 10-inch display. The ad-filled screen remains active even when the TV is off, and terms of service prohibit covering it. Despite decent picture and sound quality, the pervasive ads and software quirks suggest that paying for a TV might be preferable.
