The left part of the screen of my parent’s Samsung TV have seriously blackened recently, so they are thinking of buying a new TV. We probably bought this like 6 years ago maybe, but I absolutely do NOT want to buy a Samsung again (6 years is just planned obsolescence reliability + their OS didn’t let me remove the bloatware in any way or shape of form)
Which brand has been the most reliable for you, and also have you been able to remove the bloatware from your TV via dev mode or with a different method?
I’m a fan of both Sony and LG. LG makes TVs that have the deepest blacks which is really nice for movies. Sony doesn’t quite have the same darkness to their blacks, but the displays are very nice and the comparable Sony’s tend to be a little bit cheaper than LG’s. In my house I have a Sony and an LG as the main TV. I also have a Hisense if you want something that’s really nice and fairly cheap go for high sense.
Sony has OLED TVs now, likely using the exact same panels in the equivalent LG TV. One huge plus of Sony TVs is they run Android and so installing custom patched apps is pretty easy.
