It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

Well LG did me a favor. Don't buy LG tvs, Samsung appliances or HP printers.

    I've had good luck with their mid-high end kitchen appliances and washer/dryer.

    Not impressed with the TV and the AI update made the UI very slow and unresponsive. Next one will not be LG.

    I have learned to never update any tv or media player, it usually becomes worse. :)

    It may be possible to factory reset to the version you got from the beginning. Just have to figure out how.

    I have a freezer from them, it has worked well. Took a chance on the brand. But now it seems the display has broke after 3 years only... Hmm.

    Yeah its a touch display that allows the user to set temperature and other settings, and its showing the current temperature inside. But unfortunately i think it has broke. The freezer still runs but I cant change any settings now. One day I will try to unpower it but im afraid to do it. :) Who knows if it will start...

    We have had great luck with our LG microwave. It’s well over ten years old and the one issue we’ve had was caused by user error. Our two year old LG tv is meh. The backlighting is uneven; our much older Samsung looks much better.
