Telly delivers a stream of news ticker-like ads on a secondary screen. An online reservation system is now live, and customers can expect the first units to begin shipping this summer.
UPDATE 5/15: Teevee has emerged from a 24-month stealth period with a new name—Telly—and plans to give away 500,000 free dual-screen smart TVs.
The online reservation system is now live, and customers can expect the first units to begin shipping this summer. There’s just one catch: The television’s second screen acts as a perpetual ticker, displaying targeted ads that you can’t turn off.
Telly’s unique form factor features a 55-inch 4K HDR display and an approximatly 10-inch smart screen separated by a built-in soundbar with voice control. The idea is to highlight news, sports scores, weather, stocks—and, of course, ads—on the second screen.
Gather friends and family around the TV to watch the big game while tracking fantasy scores. Read reviews and get content recommendations on movie night. Turn your living room wall into a digital billboard for restaurants, car dealers, etc.
«Companies are making billions of dollars from ads served on televisions, yet consumers have historically had to pay for both the TV and the content they watch.
