Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.
I have an LG smart tv that I’ve had for a few years now. It is easily the worst TV I’ve ever bought. The interface sucks, the remote sucks, it doesn’t have the Dropout app, it is bright as the sun when the screen is on in the dark even with adaptive brightness on, slow to register button presses and load apps, etc. Even if it weren’t a privacy nightmare, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
Samsung one-ups them though. The UI and remote are, somehow, even worse.
I have 2, one a high end Oled and I don’t use their UI, I use an Apple TV. Always have. Tv UI’s are all terrible
Which is interesting. I had an LG TV from 2017 that I replaced with a newer Samsung TV. The remote sucks, the interface sucks, apps work poorly, and they’re displaying ads, the fuckers. The entire family misses the LG TV.
Firstly, 👊 for being a Dropout appreciator. But it’s definitely in there somewhere. I’ve got Dropout loaded and running on my LG from years back.
Which model? I bought an OLED48B4PUA a while back and I’ve been happy with it. Could be brighter, but I knew that going in.
But I also don’t use it for anything but being a display. It’s not connected to the Internet; I just use a Chromecast from my phone for most things (or connect directly to HDMI).
