You mean for advertising, showing timetables, etc?

Those are usually "digital signage" panels. Colors may or may not be OK on those, but there are two things to keep in mind:

1. They are outrageously expensive because they're made to be run blindingly bright 24/7.

2. They are less and less dumb, complete with ridiculously long startup times.

The company I work for uses these. And while a few years ago only the higher-priced ones used to feature "smart" features, the "cheaper" ones now have them, too. Now, in our case, we like those because it allows us to control the screens from a central location, and they don't require setting up a Raspberry Pi or similar to show content on them. But "dumb" they are not anymore.

They're typically running some form of Android or Samsung's Tizen. I don't directly use them, so I don't know the details, but a quick glance at Samsung's website seems to show that consumer models use Tizen, too.

So I think it's just in the WebOS, which I don't really ever use.

In other words, you can use it as a stupid panel and not get ads.

I'm pretty sure the smart features were put into TVs so they could become the one entertainment device just like those external set top boxes in the early 2000's. All consumer media hardware is headed in this direction of having advertisements, even in paid/subscription services. I base this on the fact that Foxtel (effectively the one and only paid TV service in Australia) has more ads per hour than free to air TV as people that pay a subscription are considered to have a higher income than ones that don't.

Which would completely kill the reason to buy it. I highly doubt that Apple is going to do that.

This almost guarantees that at lesson one person is working on it, without a strong customer focused leadership it’s hard to say no to that amount of money.

Maps has sent me to cornfields a few too many times to be trustworthy. It’s incredibly annoying that they refuse to let me choose google maps to open an address. Anti-trust needs to step in some day.

I was able to resolve the wifi issue by resetting the region to another and back and turning off the auto setting for it, but frankly it’s appalling an update can go out that breaks something as basic as Ethernet.

The fact a premium TV shows ads is appalling. Does LG really need to sacrifice their brand reputation just to get that advertising revenue? Whoever is calling the shots for this decision should be fired.

Money can buy reputation, so as long as the revenue from ads exceeds the cost to repair reputational damage, this will continue.

This is also a case where the manufacturer takes advantage of the unstable software Zeitgeist to gaslight users into thinking this is just how things are now, it's normal and natural and if you don't like it you're old/disruptive/weird.

Is it a security hole? Probably. I have it siloed away from my network on its own router with its own subnet.

I remember looking all over for an "hdmi quadviewer" that had all of these things:

>= 120hz hdr / 10-bit color edid web admin to adjust layouts (or some other method)

I got close, but the biggest thing I can't find is higher framerate viewers. My TV should do this.
