Don't say that... I'm planning on getting an LG

Get a streaming stick. The hardware TV manufacturers use to run their OS is generally bottom of the barrel and is sluggish as hell.

Their OLED panels are top notch, so don't sleep on it. Just get a separate streaming device as the experience on Roku, Android TV and Apple TV is just miles better.

As others have said, don't buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there's practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You're doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

LG OLEDs are amazing, worth the price. Their OS is also very good compared to other TVs, I used it for years without an outside player. Now I have an Apple TV, which is better, but I still miss the LG’s magic controller.

Bro just get an external player and don't worry about the garbage OS built into the screen.
