I’d only disagree that their remote sucks - I like it a lot, but I also don’t know others! It especially pisses me off how it doesn’t keep the apps in the motherfucking order I put them in.

TheControlled@lemmy.world 7 months agoLol omg LGs user experience is better? It’s like it was designed by a toddler infused with meth, liquid capitalism, and hatred for graphic design.
Their settings suck, their remote sucks, their software sucks, their apps and app store sucks. The only thing LG does right is make the actual panel.

It’s strange because I’ve never had an issue with the app order changing. It’s consistently worked for me since I bought the TV. It’s an older C8 but still works perfectly well.

I don’t know why it always moves some around randomly after turning off and then on the TV, but I gave up trying.
Maybe you know it, but is there a way to make the home screen the standard view after turning it on? I don’t have cable and I cannot find anything to do that, and it’s my only real gripe with it left, I just accepted the rest.
I’m mostly happy with it, I just hate that they collect all the fucking data they can about you through the TV and mobile app, and you cannot even use simple speech-to-text “without internet” (I blocked any and all traffic to LG so they can suck my nuts).

Which model do you have? Mine doesn’t have a “home screen”. It turns on to the last used input. There is a bar that pops up from the bottom with all the apps on it and that opens when you turn it on. Honestly I didn’t realise how different the UI may be across different models.

My personal experience has been the opposite. I have a C8 so maybe the software is different but I’ve found the settings to be decent, the remote to be far and away the best (magic remote) as you can use it like a mouse. Especially when you have to input something, rather furiously mashing directional buttons to navigate the keyboard you just point and click. All the apps I use work great. The UI is responsive especially compared to the typical TV that runs Android which just feels like a massive lagfest. The software store does suck! Luckily I rarely use it after the initial setup. You can put apps in whatever order you want and quickly switch between them.
