All the TVs nowadays are pretty obnoxious with their bars staying up for a few seconds too long between turning them on and switching to the source. I suppose that might be the price we pay when we get a 75" for under $500. My samsung TV forced me to accept an update I didn't ask for and approve the changed "terms of service" as if I read that. I could have given them rights to my firstborn for all I know.
