Not surprised.
My wife CONVINCED me to buy an LG tv instead of my typical dumb monitor.
Now I get constant ads and a constant nagging of updates available, that will install more ads and spying features...
- whalesalad 3mo agoLG TV’s are really really good. If you never connect them to the internet. And that rule should be applied to all TV’s. Use an external device like an Apple TV or a self-crafted solution (Roku, Amzn stick, etc all garbage phoning home and listening with Alexa crap) Treat your TV like a computer monitor (ironic here in this context lol)
- BoingBoomTschak 3mo agoImage quality may be good (minus the horrible banding and ABL) but I'd put LG and Samsung in the same bag concerning hardware reliability: don't expect it to last much more than the warranty period and if it does, give some offerings to your lucky star.
- whalesalad 3mo agoIn my experience they are both good. I have a 15 year old 1080p Samsung 55” panel that has moved across the country 3 times. It’s in my garage and still works great. My C2 OLED is 5 years old, knock on wood still working great. B5 OLED latest in my fleet it’s only a year old.
- regexorcist 3mo agoI have a pihole in front of my LG TV blocking nearly every DNS query it tries. I only allow a couple streaming apps I do use and see zero ads.
- CrimsonRain 3mo agoUpdate firmware. Turn off LIVE PLUS block internet for the tv from router Enjoy. That's what I have been doing for years.
- regexorcist 3mo agoAlso don't agree with the optional policies, they can be unchecked if you already did. That disables a bunch of crap too.
- Gud 3mo agoI use the internet browser on the TV to watch the local broadcasts(SRF). Next I will get a dumb monitor and hook up and old laptop to it with Kodi.
