Samsung is rolling out a software update to its Family Hub refrigerators in the US, adding promotions and ads to the display when idle.
The pilot program targets certain models, with ads appearing on Cover Screens for Weather, Color, and Daily Board themes, but not on Art or Gallery themes.
Ads can be dismissed and won't reappear during the campaign period, but users cannot entirely turn off ads without losing smart features.
Samsung's Family Hub refrigerators in the US range from $1,800 to $3,500, and disconnecting from the internet may stop ads but also disable smart functionalities.
