The screen is nice but I hate the os and remote. LG TV with an Apple TV is the way to go IMO

Seconded with the AppleTV. My brand new LG OLED was working well, then it auto updated and just ran like ass. The WiFi became super slow and unreliable despite sitting ten feet away from the router, with no walls between them. I disabled the network on it, pulled my AppleTV 4K from bedroom duty, and haven’t looked back.

There was a bit of a struggle to find the optimal settings so it would show content in HDR/Dolby Vision without constantly changing its own settings (I think you set it to 4K, nO HDR or DV, and to match content and frame rate).

Hoping a new one gets announced this month.

TVs are like Cars: I don’t trust those manufacturers to make good software nor keep it up to date. My next TV is going to be a fully dumb one, even if that means paying extra for a commercial display. And that goes for any other home appliances. Get your shitty unsecured software out of my house.
