“ When you get a device with pre-installed, uninstallable, or auto-installed apps.”

We’ve never had televisions in the house, but I finally broke down and bought a television so my kids could watch Disney+ on the big TV. The first television I purchased was a Samsung, and it came with these apps that I could not uninstall, did not what, and in fact used storage space that I couldn’t do anything about. I put it back in the box and took it back to the store, and got an LG. Very frustrating experience.

I can relate completely. A bit surprised by the LG though - was it any better wrt. preinstalled crapware?

That's why it was cheap. But why care about storage space inside your TV?

Is that your main concern after reading the post above?
