alt Hacker NewsYes, as the owner of an LG OLED, I paid a premium for a good quality panel, and expect it to be mine.
Also, I anticipated ads on a smart TV (unfortunately it's inevitable), but (wrongly) assumed that such invasive tracking and "we own the glass" would be a bar too low even for the budget manufacturers.
I'm never buying any LG product ever again.

I have an LG OLED as well. When I bought it, it was the previous year's flagship. I am also mad at this.
I also had an LG washing machine. The dispenser plastic drawer broke after a year of use. After over a week of multiple emails and calls with the shop, LG themselves and third-party spares shops trying to get a replacement, I bought a Bosch.
I am also never buying anything from LG again.

I own an LG TV as well, and while I assume the Mi TV Box 4K tracks me instead, at least it's unpowered while the TV is off, and the TV itself is not connected to my network. I have updated TVs/soundbars/etc, but only through USB. When they remove that option is the day I stop being a customer, moving to one that still does.
Better yet would be never needing an update, but alas.
