  For now. That can change at any time with an update.

  Hell yeah. I was considering a C5, but saw people online saying ads are present on LG.

  I use shield anyway, but I will probably just follow your advice and set default input to the shield

    Mine doesn’t have ads. But like I said, I’ve never connected it to the Internet, so I don’t know if it would start showing them if I did. I just use a Chromecast, my Switch, or an antenna.

      I have one connected to the internet due to WAF, but I never signed into an LG account on it. As a result, the “home” page just shows something about signing in “for the full experience” rather than any ads.

    No. Mine is totally connected. Use all the apps. I don’t get ads on it.

    There are ads, but if you’re willing to slog through the settings you can get rid of them. I just used a pihole LG blocklist. I really enjoy using the magic mouse on the screen and I’m finding it hard to give up.
