Buying a TV these days, means trying to avoid endless enshitification:
-Spyware and adware
-Shitty AI upscaling/ frame interpolation
-HW that breaks after 2 - 3 years
-One off OS, dead on arrival
-Android OS, that starts lagging after the third update
-8 buttons worth of ads, on your remote
You probably have to make some kind of a compromise. I thought that was buying from some other brand like Hyundai, but that one also felt into some of those categories and just broke, after less than 3 years of use. At this point Iâll probably go back to LG and hope their HW is still reliable and the rest manageable⊠It has AI bullshit and knowing LG, probably some spyware you have to try your best to get rid of, can buy a remote with âonlyâ 2 ads on it, some web-based OS shared between all their TVs, that usually gets 4 - 5 years worth of updates and works decently enough afterwards.
At this point, Iâll probably settle for anything that doesnât literally fall apart, not even 3 years in, like the Hyundai did.

10 Wonderful TV Shows That Started Strong but Ended Unfinished

Den sidste sĂŠson af Better Call Saul er Ă„rets bedste TV.
En fremragende afslutning pÄ en ellers fremragende serie. Jeg kan ikke undgÄ nyde Better Call Saul mere, end jeg gjorde Breaking Bad (hvilket siger noget!)
Anden halvdel af sĂŠsonen skifter noget i stil og stemning, hvilket jeg ved irriterede nogle af mine venner.
Selv Äd jeg det rÄt. MÄske fordi jeg har set alle afsnit rituelt i takt med at de udkom.
