I bought an LG OLED TV couple of months ago during the Cyber Monday sale.
> but the TV was absolutely packed with ads via the home screen and pop-up toasts. To add insult to injury, the home screen would lag for several seconds at boot while it pulled down all those ads.
I was shocked to read this. I've been running AdGuard Home for awhile now and had no idea that my TV was capable of showing me so many ads. Even my spouse breathed a sigh of relief (and possibly admired my setup just a little!) when I read her these lines.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoI got an LG C2 and immediately plugged a Roku into it. I've spent less than 5 minutes total looking at WebOS. I also have OpenWRT's ad block setup enabled on my router. If there are ads on its home screen, I am blind to them.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoYou may as well get a RokuTV and avoid the remote juggling for volume control.
- jaguar1878 4y agoWe use a Roku with an LG OLED, mostly to avoid connecting the TV to the internet. Turns out if you use the HDMI ARC for audio (we connected to a soundbar) and everything in the chain is new enough, then the Roku remote volume buttons will adjust the soundbar volume just fine. Roku remote can also turn the TV on and off, so we don't need the LG remote now except to change to a different input.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoAre there any Roku TVs with EVO OLED panels? The Roku remote controls TV power and soundbar volume just fine. CEC didn't seem to work quite right, so I enabled the Roku's IR blaster feature. The LG remote can control the Roku as well, through CEC.
