Nothing to research. They’re all the same bad or will get bad in the foreseeable future. Only thing that matters is the screen technology and the specs of your external media center.
That’s what i say; use the TV as dumb display or deal with enshitification now or later.
Btw, i have an LG too but i always understood them letting you disable stuff them just anticipating GDPR lawsuits. But seems it’s the same in US? Maybe they really want you not having a bad experience.
I mostly like my LG tv, and it’s nice that I can use it without agreeing to their T&C or logging in. It does really piss me off that if I wanted to change picture settings (brightness, color, etc) I’d have to turn their adware settings back on.
I say this as someone with two LG TVs. Sure you can just not connect them to the internet, but a lot of people rely on the “Smart” part of the TV to view all their content.

My LG has none of this. Any advertising/ai can be disabled as can the network itself.
Wasn’t there news lately that LG wants to display ads in pause?
Sure they want to but they let you disable all of this in the settings. Also a TV with no internet likely will be an unable to serve adds.

Pretty sure it’s a business decision. The risk of showing ADs and getting a bad reputation
“likely” lol as bad as the adpocalypse has been, at least things aren’t pre-loaded with bog-standard ads for offline delivery

You mean it doesn’t have any of this yet :)

I have a TLC that does none of this, too.
