    I’m not an advocate for smart TVs, but my experience has been different. I found a deal for an 86 inch LG, and it’s been nothing but smooth for me. No advertising built into the os, always has the apps I use right on the bar. The air mouse onnthe remote is reminiscent of owning a wii.

      Because the vast majority of times people complain about this stuff, they have no idea what they’re talking about.

      If you buy a nice TV and spend 2 seconds going thru the options you won’t have a single issue OP is complaining about.

      Edit:

      Apparently OP banned me for saying their meme doesn’t make sense…

      The only thing that a “cheap” TV would do is slow down overtime, because it’s cheap and has the absolute bare minimum processing speed.

      You need that processing speed to properly up sample to 4k from streaming.

      If you want a cheap one, buy a decent 1080p so it doesn’t have to upsample.

      Rtings.com is a good resource.

      But it should be common sense that buying a cheap product will give you poorer results.

        Why should you have to buy a nice TV for this issue to not be an issue? Why should shitty TVs have built-in advertising and glacially slow “smart” functions? Either don’t include that as TV software or fix it.
