I've got an LG CX TV and I haven't seen any ads anywhere - which models are affected by this, do you know?
- mafuyu 4y agoI've got the LG G1. AFAIK, all the webOS models are affected.
- beebeepka 4y agoWhich country? Never seen this behaviour, so maybe it is region specific
- mafuyu 4y agoThis is in the US. If you search online, it seems to be a commonly reported issue, with some articles saying LG started ramping up the ads a year or two ago. Maybe older firmwares don't get the ads?
- gambiting 4y agoI'm literally on the very latest firmware on my LG CX, connected to the internet, use the apps all the time and I have zero ads on mine, never did anything to block them either - I'm in the UK. I wonder if that's actually some kind of EU/UK regulation that's absent in the US that's preventing this.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoMine started about a year after I bought the TV with no updates done (and the TV rooted, blocking updates) in AU.
- blue_cookeh 4y agoMaybe it depends on the country? I've got a LG C9 and can't recall _ever_ getting any ads in webOS since buying it. In fact, the most annoying thing is the Rakuten button I never use on the "smart" remote. I've overall been very happy with our LG TV and have been recommending it highly over our old Samsung - which was slowly updated to remove features and eventually took about 45 seconds to boot up.
- kapep 4y agoI have also never seen a single ad on my LG TV in Germany. I'm mostly using the Netflix and Prime Video apps, but still the overall user experience seems way ahead of Samsung TVs.
- mastercheif 4y agoThe C9 was the last LG OLED with a non-full screen app launcher.
- gambiting 4y agoWas it? On my CX when I press "home" on the remote it only opens a little bar at the bottom of my screen with all the apps. Or do you mean something else?
- mastercheif 4y agoAh my apologies, it must've been the C1 then.
