> Currently I think we have LG TVs > no ads even on the TVs.

Um, have you needed to change anything for your LG TVs to not display ads?

Asking because modern LG TVs seem to display ads too. :(

Saying that because I was recently looking for a TV, and considered LG, but many people seem to be having regrets now due to ads being shown.

LG TVs do have some settings related to ads, but my solution was to just not connect it to the internet in the first place.

This. Parents bought LG OLED TV. It is absolutely lovely, has super nice picture. (not an ad!:D) I insisted they never connect it to network. Probably it would be usable on network cut off from internet, but there is high probability of some mistake. I wasnt sure what happens if it got out for just a tiny bit so decision was clear. We've seen zero ads there (except the standard-ads-iterrupted-by-actual-programming).
