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.

    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.

    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).
