Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems

  What devices have you tried it with?

  I’ve been very happy with Samsung’s implementation paired with Apple and Microsoft devices.

  That said, I haven’t see how things play out with other TV brand and input devices from Sony, Roku, etc. I only know that my setup has been pretty damn bulletproof.

    I’ve used many throughout the years. There’s always something goofy going on. Watching something on input one might automatically switch to another input that is just doing a network software update check in sleep mode. Or someone picks up a game controller and accidentally presses a button which will also suddenly switch inputs.

    CEC is only good if the devices connected to it are very limited and if you want to do all software updates for everything manually.

      LG’s implementation is both good and bad. It doesn’t automatically switch over, but it pops up a dialog box asking if you want to switch inputs whenever another input is connected or device turned on.

      Samsung did neither, and I always had to manually switch inputs.

        It may depend on the LG TV or maybe it’s a setting. I just bought a new one and have a Google streamer on it and use it’s remote to turn on the streamer, soundbar and TV with a single button. I never see the LG UI itself unless I need to change a setting, and I’ve disabled it’s wifi entirely. I don’t get any kind of popups from the TV, it just works cleanly with the streamer.

    Same here. I have my PS5 and Chromecast w/GTV via CEC, and haven’t seen the TVs UI in a long time. No issues whatsoever.

  Find me a 60", 4K OLED with proper HDR support and ease of wall-mounting that’s anywhere near the price of a TV.

  I’d love to buy a monitor and use it like that, but it’s a fantasy.

    You can just never connect it to the internet. That’s your 60” wall-mounted monitor.
