@david@daiwei.me if you have some weekend home type place, with no Internet, getting TV through an antenna and a DVBT box, my recommendation is to just buy some old Dell monitor with HDMI to 3.5mm audio output built in, so you can connect speakers to it.
Doesn’t have to be Dell, but you can often just buy one of those from your employer, for under $25 here.
Were this sadly makes much less sense, in with Internet TV services. Those usually need a dedicated TV app to function and while that can be replaced with a $200 TV box, that some providers force you to rent, thus making you pay more for your Internet TV forever - this also means giving up the “archive app”, that gives you access to all the on demand content, included in the price of your mandatory TV license. None of these overpriced boxes come with it, as they’d mauch rather make you pay, for yet another subscription service instead.
So yes, you can kinda do it with an Internet TV too, assuming you trust the expensive box to not spy on you, but in that case you’re mostly just paying a whole lot more, for a lot less, than you would be, with the LG TV.
I really am saddened by the current state of LG, as someone who used their phones and monitors for decades and still uses and albeit cautiously recommends their TVs, to those who can also go through the hours long process, to reconfigure them.
They really are the ultimate great hardware, burdened by adware and spyware filled anti-consumer firmware company.
