LG TV
Reddit take
AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote
LG TVs are generally well-regarded for their high-end OLED performance and integration capabilities, though user experiences vary significantly between entry-level and premium models. While many users report seamless home theater integration, others highlight hardware reliability issues and specific technical limitations like lack of DTS support.
Pros
- Excellent OLED picture quality compared to standard 4K panels
- Seamless CEC integration with devices like Apple TV and Marantz receivers
- Fast signal format handling and processing
- Efficient standby mode with zero data usage when idle
- Built-in speakers occasionally outperform budget-tier soundbars
Cons
- Reports of hardware failure including dead pixels and total display loss
- Older panels may develop a significant blue tint over time
- Flaky eARC performance reported by some users
- Lack of DTS support on various models
- Entry-level models are often viewed as significantly inferior to the brand's higher-end offerings
Caveats
- Reliability and feature sets (like DTS support) vary widely across different model years and price points
- CEC and eARC stability appears to be environment-dependent, with conflicting reports on reliability
Best for
- Home theater enthusiasts prioritizing OLED picture quality
- Users looking for a TV that integrates well with Apple TV and external receivers via CEC
Avoid if
- You require native DTS audio support directly through the TV
- You are looking for a budget-tier display with long-term panel reliability

Parent context: The OS/updates check is run once or twice a day, not 24/7 sending data. Other devices I have (apple TV a LG TV) with Netflix and other subscriptions when turned off (standby) do not send anything, the connection gets idle with 0bps both ways.

Earlier I posted what I have - Onkyo 6100 7.2 (5.1 in Living Room) and Onkyo 7100 9.2 (5.2.4 in mancave/theater) coupled with an 86” LGTV
they have an old LG tv that turned super blue, though it still works otherwise.
I currently have a 55" LG tv but it has a line of dead pixels.
I am coming from an entry level LG TV, so this is going to be my big splurge so I can enjoy some games and movies this winter on a good tv.
I have 4K LG tv and my neighbour have OLED. I can see the day and night difference between the experience.
this happened to me with my LG tv, I got a soundbar at that price point, but found the tv speakers were better.
Both work perfectly have a 75 inch lg tv hanging by projector screen and picture looks same little dimmer but tv is on vivid.
The old LG was much better in this regard.
considering one can buy like a 42 inch OLED LG TV for the same price.
