My parents are getting a new tv, and are asking for recommendation. I think all I can influence is the brand/model (not realistic to propose rpi and more complex systems). I instinctively avoid google/android and lean towards anything else open source, so probably LG WebOS… But I had bad luck searching for more detailed comparisons. Maybe you have experience or opinions?
Just use Pihole. Bam. No more ads or tracking. Plus then you can use the native streaming apps which often offer the best HDR picture quality (unless you’re streaming high bitrate local content or something)
