From Nick Heer at Pixel Envy:

The transformation of seemingly every major company into, ultimately, vendors for advertising is an outcome basically everyone hates. The televisions tested by Gamers Nexus are thousands of dollars in Canada. That exchange of money used to be where the relationship ended, assuming the product did not need servicing. Now, though, selling ads on the screen itself prints so much money that it is nearly impossible to buy something different. You cannot vote with your wallet when advertisers are paying more.

In other words, we’re fucked. Owners of LG products more than most, it seems.

We have an LG CX OLED which has never seen the internet, at least as long as it’s been in our possession. And I replaced that shitty LG monitor I mentioned last year with a Dell Thunderbolt monitor which is streaks ahead of the LG in every regard.

I certainly won’t be buying any more LG products.
