It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

I'll throw my money at any TV manfucturer that just sells me a dumb OLED TV with great picture quality. Heck, even drop the speakers, I won't be using them anyway. Just a dumb panel with plenty of input/outputs.

    The LG TVs are basically that if you just ignore the LG ui. You can plug in whatever input you want and have it automatically go there on power on

    I never see the LG UI. Only my nvidia shield

    You'll never get a high quality panel like you want because there's only so many that produce the panels. And without a value add nobody makes any money.

    FYI, LG and Samsung were both confirmed to take and upload periodic screenshots, whether you're using native apps or an external input.

    The last time I said basically this same thing, someone recommended something…I think it was an industrial TV or something? I can’t remember!

    Industrial TVs or computer monitors, yeah, but that's only a matter of time and the former are expensive.
    Edit: also projectors.
