2017, The Natural Philosopher remarked:

At a guess you have to wait for it to go through hardware self test
and boot the realtime OS. It is only a few tens of seconds on most TVs.

Whereas this desktop using very ordinary components is asking for my
password in under 7 seconds and is ready to use in 15.

Its ******** really. It shouldn't take that long to boot a TV.

Have you considered buying a TV with more then five quids worth of
computer inside?
