    My experience with LG/WebOS has been fine if I don’t try to get online. It doesn’t pester me to do so.

      I have a WebOS TV and I absolutely hate how slow it is. Turning on takes a long time. Selecting apps takes a long time. Flipping channels takes a long time. Did we forget how fast TVs from the 90s were??

        To be fair, TVs from the 90s didn’t have apps, and I don’t actually use the apps on my LG, so it seems fine.

          For older LG webos TVs, the delay between button push and action in the settings app can get as bad as 4 seconds.

          The reason I bought it:

          1. Samsung pushed ads agressively on their TVs
          2. I had an HP tablet with webOS before and wondered what LG did with it after taking over the development. I was horrified.

          The hardware is not much better. There’s constantly something wrong. But the LCD panel is pretty decent, so I just patch it up every time, rather than throwing it out.

            In Spanish “WebOS” sounds exactly as if you were saying “huebos” which is slang for testicles.

            Just a tidbit for your day to go just that much faster.
