LG has started displaying ads on TV screensavers, intensifying the
proliferation of ads in smart TV software. The South Korean company quietly

My LG OLED TV is about 2 years old, and I see no ads. It is internet connected due to the wife, but I only use it with a radxa zero and kodi, so I never see any commercials. This is a good thing to check if I need to buy a new TV some time.
