I’m okay with Samsung, Sony, and LG. Have had TVs and large computer monitors from all three brands and all have worked well.
But OS developers and app developers are not very motivated to write highly optimized software. Because, by not optimizing new versions of apps and new releases of OS‘s to the Nth degree, consumers are encouraged to do what I’m doing, go out and replace the TV to get faster, more powerful hardware.
Is a semi-subtle form of planned obsolescence. Frequent software updates can be a good thing, when they fix issues or add features without compromising performance. But eventually, they compromise performance.
A while back, Apple was pushing the limits of acceptability with that approach and customers pushed back. IOS updates were rendering older iPhones and iPads unusable slow. Apple has since self-corrected and made the impacts of updates on performance more subtle.
They all do it. My Sony is showing signs of age, so I’ll move it to another room and replace it. Someone said to use. a Firestick or Apple TV device, and that makes sense because they’re way cheaper to replace with new hardware than TVs.
