If this is the route that LG are taking, then (frankly) I'll use my next LG TV effectively as a monitor, with visuals fed by the relatively ad-free experience such as from Apple TV. There is a reason why most people watched England lose to Italy on the BBC rather than ITV...

I will happily stick with Samsung sans Dolby vision or atmos. This is a matter of personal dignity and self respect.

Trouble is I can see Google TV sets going the same route i.e. Sony TVs etc.
