Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 days agoit’s not that complicated, just get a smart TV and don’t connect it to your network. quite easy to never use any of the built in apps if you only use your own inputs sources.

That’s exactly what I do but that doesn’t magically shield me from the bad software running on these machines. The OS is still unstable, tries to apply a bunch of filters that need to be disabled, has extreme lag unless gaming mode is being used and has stupid UI decisions like putting the audio level exactly where the subtitles usually are so that changing audio will obfuscate them. Once every 24h I‘m also getting a warning that the tv is not connected to the internet, despite network connectivity being explicitly disabled.

sounds like you have a crappy TV then. I literally never have to touch my LG.
well sure, but image processing in general is good to have in a TV. I wouldn’t say having options on how to do that is a bad thing.
again, that’s due to the image processing. lag is fine if you are just watching the TV, and if you want to play games there is gaming mode. so i’m not sure what your complaint even is here.
this has nothing to do with the “smart” functions.
again, this is not a thing for most smart TVs, you just have a shitty one.
