Comment on LG OLED TV is changing inputs automatically.

I’ve changed the setting to prevent the behavior, but the prompt is still missing.
You’ve disabled the automatic switching based on HDMI CEC, and yet the TV still automatically switches and without a notification/option in advance? This just sounds like a firmware update for the TV introduced a bug.
I’m in the same camp with the other commenter who suggested never attaching a so-called smart TV to the Internet, for then it can never perform an unwanted update. Because for whatever near features an update may bring, it rarely can be reversed if proven to be undesirable. I’m staunchly in the “own your hardware” camp, so automatic-and-non-undoable updates are antithetical to any notion of right-to-repair principles, and will inevitably lead to disposable electronics.

Your best bet might to try attempting a manual software downgrade using a USB stick.

No, it’s stopped the switching, the option does work. It just doesn’t go back to the prompting, which is annoying. Not like any of this is a big deal, just, why?

I think what they’re saying is a firmware update changed the TVs programing so it now switches automatically without giving a prompt and a solution might be to disconnect the TV from the internet and try to re-install a previous version with a usb stick.
