I don’t want my TV to function as anything more than a large computer monitor. I may end up having to get a projector if they keep pushing all this smart TV and AI garbage. At least the business type projectors are still free of it for now.
They pushed nonsense for more than a decade, I doubt it will change suddenly. Oh and the picture still looks SO terrible, how can anyone watch something like that?
For real. The smart features may be terrible but LG has some of the top TVs in the market. The picture quality is great. I’d love to know what they think looks good if something like the C5 “looks SO terrible.”
I am not talking about this specific TV. I am talking about every time I happen to see a random TV somewhere. Both the random media shown and the post processing are terrible.
I don’t doubt a random TV looks like shit. Picture quality isn’t the purpose of them at most businesses. Even places that sell them rarely do more than default settings, and they also have a wide range of TVs so a lot probably still look like ass.
Because they aren’t designed to give you the best picture quality, for some reason. There’s a reason filmmaker mode exists, but that’s not suited for everything either. But even apart from that, there are going to be slight differences between each unit that need to be accounted for.

I bought a TV running VIDAA. You can use it without wifi and disable everything and let it just start on an input.
I don’t know of it’s EU only.
I also have a hisense vidaa oled and it works great. It’s never been connected to the internet and it never asks to be.

Streaming looks terrible. Watch a ‘local copy’ of a movie and you’ll notice the difference

Why are the default settings so bad?

I don’t know that TVs you’ve looked at but high end TVs look great with local content.
What is local content?
Not steamed content, usually Netflix and such don’t stream at a high enough bitrate
Not online
