Depends where those ads are coming from. I don't ever connect my LG OLED to the internet and my roku gets filtered by a pihole. The only ads I see are from the over-the-air programming from my antenna.

We currently have an LG connected to the internet, but I never see any ads. It has to be connected to the internet because it's connected to the home WiFi for casting.

How old a model is it?

C6, so I think 2016.

C6? That sounds like super new. It started at Cx, C1, C2 and the last I remember was C3 which was definitely more recent probably 2020.

I verified, it's from 2016. It's the super thin flat panel OLED, 65". We paid a ridiculous amount of money for it, so the burn in is a real bummer.
