Sigh. Our latest TV is an LG precisely because LG did not have ads in its OS whereas its main competitors do. Once they introduce ads, they’ll have completely lost me as a potential repeat customer.

Guess our next TV will just be a large monitor, with no “smart” shenanigans whatsoever.

Why even use the LG OS? I always used a fire tv stick and now nvidia shield, which is much better supported as an Android OS instead if an LG OS.

All these “sticks” don’t have good support for domestic streaming services in my country. The native TV OS does.
