Yeah, after some research, LG in general is the worst, especially with their linear compressor. It failed after 2-3 years (under warranty), and failed again after 4-5 more years. We didn't bother fixing it again, since the repair people said it'd cost $600+ assuming the part is under warranty, and probably wouldn't last much longer anyway. Samsung is apparently similarly bad, but with different components. I liked this video, which goes over which fridge to get, and other resources say something similar: LG and Samsung are piles of crap (they're super fancy though), Whirlpool and GE are better if you avoid fancy features, and everything kind of sucks.
We went with Whirlpool this time, but everything I've read says the expected lifetime is still just 10-years. I don't want fancy features, I just want it to keep things cold, and I'd rather pay someone to fix it than replace it...
All the features my LG tv has just gets in the way of using it
Same. I have a Samsung "dumb" TV (~40", 1080p) from ~10 years ago and it's fine, and I have an LG "smart" TV (~55", 4k) from 5-ish years ago, which can be a pain to use and I'd prefer to just have a "dumb" TV instead. I even use the "smart" features sometimes, but they're slow and I'd get a much better experience with a small PC hooked up to it instead.
But it's incredibly hard to find non-smart TVs. There's a handful of "hospitality" TVs, but they're usually lower resolution, don't have nice features like OLED, and size seems to cap out around 40" at the biggest (most are 32"). I don't want any of the AI fixing crap, apps, etc, just give me a bunch of HDMI ports (ideally DisplayPort as well) and a decent picture.
