TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it’s input shouldn’t exist.
Some of that input could do with a bit of tweaking though.
I wouldn’t mind if the TV was able to do things with the audio track, like remove background music, or lift the volume of people speaking, or erase laugh tracks/live audience hooting& hollering.
There’s probably similar manipulation that you could do on the video side (eventually, once TVs stop getting the worst processors ever, not here and now). Imagine a prompt that says “Airbrush every recognisable brand name on-screen so that it blends with the background”.
I seriously doubt if any major manufacturer would do that kind of thing though, so better get working on jailbreaking those TVs.
I used to have a mythtv box that I’d built , like, 15 years ago and it was pretty good. For a while there TV UIs were adequate enough that I didn’t need it, but it seems that maybe it’s time to build another one.
What you’re asking for is a monitor, not a TV. The last TV I’ve seen that is this limited still had a picture tube - and it wasn’t even the last CRT TV I’ve used (we actually had a very late one with HDMI). Regardless of how silly AI features are, there’s a middle ground.
This, but unironically. When I had a small apartment I just had a big monitor with everything hooked up to it in the main room, and it was great. Now I spend all my time at my desk because I hate the stupid TV.

I at least like audio with the display.
Instructions unclear, TVs now display audio via AI — Samsung

Sorry, the best we can do is always showing you subtitles by default, and not letting you permanently change that.
Yeah it’s steadily getting enshittified.
