  Well, at least LG has a range of TVs turned monitors, i.e. without all that “smart” shit. So they have a usable alternative, something other vendors don’t.

      Hard disagree. Please, everyone, research impartial product reviews before you buy any appliance. Your appliance lifespans should be measurable in decades.

      Try a Speed Queen and then get back to me.

    I’ve had good luck with their mid-high end kitchen appliances and washer/dryer.

    Not impressed with the TV and the AI update made the UI very slow and unresponsive. Next one will not be LG.

      Unfortunately, it was just that: good luck. All appliances from Samsung and LG are notorious in the market space for premature failure. If we had a functioning consumer protection agency, they wouldn’t be able even sell something of such poor reliability.

      I have learned to never update any tv or media player, it usually becomes worse. :)

    I have a freezer from them, it has worked well. Took a chance on the brand. But now it seems the display has broke after 3 years only… Hmm.

      Your freezer has a display?

        Yeah its a touch display that allows the user to set temperature and other settings, and its showing the current temperature inside. But unfortunately i think it has broke. The cooler still runs but I cant change any settings now. One day I will try to unpower it but im afraid to do it. :) Who knows if it will start…

    We have had great luck with our LG microwave. It’s well over ten years old and the one issue we’ve had was caused by user error. Our two year old LG tv is meh. The backlighting is uneven; our much older Samsung looks much better.

    I’ve only ever bought LG phones, they made a couple of duds but largely they were great, they died rather than going to shit.

    I need a new phone eventually though. :(
