Looking for a new TV but don’t want to pay anything for it? The founder of Pluto TV has announced a new initiative that includes giving anyone a free 55-inch 4K TV–but there is a pretty big catch. This TV has two screens, one to watch the content you want and the other that displays advertisements non-stop.
The TV is called “Telly,” and it runs on an operating system called TellyOS. You can reserve a unit at www.freetelly.com. Telly is giving away “the first” 500,000 free units and they will ship this summer. Presumably another restock will happen later.
Telly founder and CEO Ilya Pozin says Telly represents the “biggest innovation in television since color.” Pozin said companies make billions off ads seen on TV and consumers have had to pay for the TV and what they watch. Now, the TV itself is free with Telly.
