As soon as someone besides LG releases a decent OLED, I'm likely to switch.
Sony, Panasonic (outside the US) and Philips already do.

I am saying this for years.
Finally, people sees this.
I don't want smart things made by companies other than Apple.
They dont have the expertise to be on the same level as Apple got me used to.
TV brands, please, concentrate in what YOU are good: making good panels, NOTHING MORE.
That's lovely. My less than 3 year old 55" LG OLED that was in the $2500 to $3000 range won't get this, even though it is fully capable of supporting this with a software update?
Way to go, LG.

There's clearly some planned obsolescence going on here, which is often what you'll get when one company maintains both the hardware and software. They're not incentivized to keep the feature-set or software current on older models.And this, my friends, is why Smart TVs are such bull****. Your three year old TV, which still has a beautifully capable display panel, can't be upgraded to support current standards.
I wish it were still possible to buy a truly dumb TV. HDMI inputs are all I need. Plug in my Apple TV and it's done. When the Apple TV becomes obsolete, I upgrade it instead of replacing the whole TV.
Smart TVs also have security and privacy concerns. Complete, total fail.
I prefer Sony OLED in every way. Especially when it comes to motion with panning shots. Their motion software makes them superior.
It's hard to appreciate the Netflix and Amazon ads that are permanently a part of the remotes, the large ads in the user interfaces, and the built-in spyware that sends images of what you're watching to advertisers to associate with your IP address and send your family targeted ads.
You want me to ignore the features I don't want that I end up paying hundreds of dollars for
And tell me what TVs used to be like, because if they're dumb I'd happily go back to that
None of our, nor my family members TVs have that. They have smart apps, that we never use or see. We use an Apple TV. In fact, we don't even have to use the TV remote, as the Apple TV remote also turns on and off the tv and changes volume.
You are right and i was thinking about that when writing my post. Also, i just buy mac minis because of that!Even an Apple Smart TV would be pointless in the long run.
TVs last a VERY LONG TIME. I'm still using a Sony Bravia from 2009 in my office at home. Think about a 2009 Apple TV. It's pretty much completely useless today.
Keep the smarts outside of the TV, so we can keep upgrading the smarts and keep using the TV.

Which is actually more subtle that the very first row of Apple TV that fills your screen with ads for Apple's movies and music.
This is what stopping me from replacing my plasma...Thats great that Sony is able to resolve this issue but too bad Sony OLED are never on sale like the way LG's are.I prefer Sony OLED in every way. Especially when it comes to motion with panning shots. Their motion software makes them superior.

Yeah for me theres no point upgrading from a 60" to a 65". The LG 77" is just too expensive right now. The burn in on these LG oled is another reason why i havent made the jump yet. I did check out the new Samsung 9 series and man their LED is getting very close to a OLED in terms of pq and you dont have to worry about burn in.keep the plasma until it dies. LEDs are really closing the gap, especially with HDR content since they can go so bright. I’m looking to go 75”+ for my next set, and it LED may be the route I go.
My tv updated today from 4.10.xx to 5.10.10
It is a SK80 model
I can’t find any apple support in the menus etc
Anyone else got it working or am I due another update?
Mine is the 2019 SM9010 and it updated a couple of days ago but no evidence at all of any airplay2 functionality. Not showing up in the home app on my phone.
Wonder if we are due another update or if our TVs ain’t compatible
And the update for 2019 LGTVs was released today. TV can be added to Home as a HomeKit device and also appears as a airplay device
Hi recd,
As my TV was also update and I can´t find the options for Airplay ore Homekit, could you write which update your TV got?
Mine is 03.60.19 and nothing happened

Without appearing stupid. How do you “restart” your TV. I had this update last week and nothing shows up re AirPlay or HomeKit. Neither on my phone or TV.
