Surprised that there's no mention of how smart T.V.s track users' viewing behavior (pretty invasively from what I've read). Last I checked, it's nearly impossible to buy a regular T.V. anymore. I reluctantly bought a smart T.V. a few years ago since it was 4K and the exact same price as a 1080p dumb T.V. I unfortunately (but as expected) started having laggy software issues and problems with the OTA channel tuner after awhile when it decided to install an update without my permission. The T.V. has since been disconnected from the internet, and I watch all my streaming content through my computer via an HDMI cable (which is, frankly, a better experience anyway because I can more easily block ads when streaming from my computer). The T.V. has a lovely "feature" where an obnoxious three-inch wide LED bar at the bottom blinks at you constantly to let you know when the T.V. can't find an internet connection. There's no way to turn this off, and I'm sure they made it so obnoxious so that people will just give up and connect to the internet, allowing the T.V. to start scavenging your personal data again.
@Blustride
2 жыл бұрын
I doubt that removing the tracking would make the TV dramatically faster, so it's not worth mentioning. I can't say I've had the same experience leaving a smart TV disconnected, but maybe the margins on such a cheap TV are so low that pestering the user to connect it is worth it to the manufacturer. The most unfortunate part is that all the actually good TVs are smart TVs nowadays, but I suppose that's not really a problem until a TV will outright refuse to work until you connect it to the internet. I'm giving that feature 5 years at the most.

Unfortunately, the blinking LED bar also indicates a few other handy things, so covering it with tape would mean I miss out on other useful feedback from the T.V. As far as watching through HDMI even when connected to the internet: The way most (if not all) smart T.V.s monitor your viewing habits is by screen captures, so whether you're using an app built into the T.V., or watching your own personal stuff on an input, it still tracks what you're watching and reports it back for analysis. There's an algorithm that runs on the captures and tries to decide what you were watching, even if it was through an external device. To be frank, it's pretty invasive and creepy...

LG is one of the few brands where the OS is actually good. It's responsive and easy to navigate especially with the magic remote which has a cursor. It's at least a lot better than my Samsung TU7000's os. I actually find my self using the native apps more than using my PC to watch Netflix and KZitem because I don't want to watch videos on my PC settings profile and prefer to use one I specifically made for media, which has a more accurate colour temperature, has post processing, supports upscaling from 1080p to 4k. Upscaled 1080p looks a lot better using the native KZitem app. You could actually mistake it for 4k at times, that's how good the upscaling has become. On the PC 1080p looks very bad as expected because the image is just increased in size. Obviously the PC profile is good for games and generally using it as a monitor because there is no input lag, but for media I want the best possible picture quality. I actually think that this is a huge advantage of using a TV as your display is that it can process the video when necessary and the customisabitity in settings is also a lot better than a monitor. The TV is a C1 by the way. This is of course not a cheap TV so maybe that's why it's got a good chip and OS.

I wouldn't mind a TV that does away with all the "smart TV" stuff and is even cheaper. I already use Fire TV Stick and would most likely stick to it any ways, so I don't need a TV to be "smart". I just need it to be a Display. Also I don't need a TV Tuner anymore too. TV with all its advertising is dead to me.

I just discovered the one advantage my 2021 LG TV has over my Apple TV 4K 1st Gen. The WebOs interface is sluggish and even freezes at times, but the KZitem app built into the TV does play 4K60 HDR KZitem videos, where the 1st Gen Apple TV 4K does not (capping out at 1440p60 or 2160p30). The sound quality through those same videos is also slightly better through the TV. I don't know if this is worth upgrading the Apple TV to a newer model, but there it is. Thank you stats for nerds for pointing this out.

Like a big monitor with extremely efficient firmware for changing display settings, but with top-tier display quality.

I wish you could still buy a dumb panel that can switch inputs faster, and only has the on screen menus for making adjustments to the picture or other functions. I don’t want to buy a TV with a built-in streaming device because as the apps get updated over time, they start to run like shit, and flipping inputs on them usually sucks. I liked my cheap Roku TV by Sharp when I got it several years ago, but it seems to struggle with certain apps these days, and with the panel still working just as good as it always has, it’s hard to justify replacing it, and I don’t want to have Roku-caption where I’m plugging a Roku into my Roku.

LG C1 is very quick with input switching (basically as fast, if not faster, as a 2009 dumb tv in my house) and WebOS is really nice actually. Obviously this is one of the best looking TVs on the market and it having a responsive OS helps a lot. Just stay away from the cheaper TVs. It may be costly now, but it will definitely be worth it as cheaper TVs will take a while to catch up in picture quality and 2 years later they will chug on the OS, therefore you don't have to upgrade as often. Also I still recommend a streaming box (personally my favourite is an Apple TV 4k), because sometimes it chugs on 4k60 HDR videos (4k30 HDR is fine though). If high framerate content doesn't interest you then you are fine with WebOS. Also another reason to get a streaming box is to avoid ARC, because it's not as consistent as what it should be.

And the UI that there is is probably the best out of all the brands if you do want to use it as a TV. The youtube app does struggle a bit with 4k60 HDR footage but if you really want that you can get something like an Apple TV 4k or Chromecast Ultra or hope that windows displays it correctly.
