Most tv manufacturers are on my shitlist because of that.
I bought a Panasonic OLED a couple years ago. It’s 55” and it’s top of the range (same panel as the LGs, better software. They’re the reference screens they use in Hollywood to color movies in post apparently)
I paid 1000$ for it, new, with two years of warranty. It has no ads, period. Except on the YouTube app but these are from YouTube themselves. I use Kodi to stream YT instead. Oh and it boots in 5 seconds flat, from pressing the power button to content on screen.
I guess there might still be a few reputable tv makers that don’t do ads or content recognition. Panasonic is one at least on that particular model. I’ll never buy an LG or Samsung for these reasons and will probably stick to Panasonic.
- fakedang 6y agoCan concur! Panasonic seems to not have caught onto the TV ads trend.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoMy four year old Panasonic shows ads in the apps screen.
- jjtheblunt 6y agoWe have a 3 year old 65 inch Sony and it behaves just fine also.
- kenhwang 6y agoI used to scratch my head at who would pay a $500-1000 premium for a Sony when it just uses an LG panel. But after owning an LG for several years now and seeing it get more and more ads with every update, I think the premium on the Sony is worth it for an ad-free clean experience.
- jjtheblunt 6y agoAgreed, as I had an LG before that, and loved it; our trick was wait for year end new models essentially the same to come out, and Best Buy to discount the prior year models.
- account42 6y ago> Oh and it boots in 5 seconds flat, from pressing the power button to content on screen. It's sad that 5 seconds is considered a good start up time for a TV.
- ornornor 6y agoI don’t think it’s bad for a tv with so much image processing and other logic in it to take five seconds from pressing the internet button to having the image shown? Even CRTs took comparable time with no software in them. It took a few seconds to warm up and not show a distorted image.
