Saw this last night:

 

 

Samsung Electronics today announced a partnership with leading international ODM (Original Development Manufacturing) companies such as Atmaca, HKC and Tempo — a collaboration that will enable non-Samsung smart TV models to use Tizen OS for the first time. New TVs from Bauhn, Linsar, Sunny, Vispera and other brands will be available in Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Türkiye and the United Kingdom this year, allowing more consumers to enjoy a premium smart TV experience enabled by Tizen, an open source OS for Samsung Smart TV.

 

 

 

Tizen TV brands include Akai, Bauhn, Linsar (distributed by Tempo), RCA, Vispera (distributed by HKC) Sunny and Axen (distributed by Atmaca).
Akai, Bauhn, Linsar Tizen TVs are available as of September 2022 in Australia. Other brands will be available later in Q4 2022.

I suspect this is something like because Google required AV1 support in all new Android TV devices after April 2021 and that was potentially very inconvenient for mid market models with chip shortages due to covid and all that.*

The last Samsung Tizen I used a few years ago required regular reboots to maintain operation and operating system performance after some pretty average app use. Streaming app availability was good, not much else was available.

*Edit: Ironically enough Google was said to have delayed a new Chromecast stick for exactly the same reason.
