I bought an LG OLED TV couple of months ago during the Cyber Monday sale.

> but the TV was absolutely packed with ads via the home screen and pop-up toasts. To add insult to injury, the home screen would lag for several seconds at boot while it pulled down all those ads.

I was shocked to read this. I've been running AdGuard Home for awhile now and had no idea that my TV was capable of showing me so many ads. Even my spouse breathed a sigh of relief (and possibly admired my setup just a little!) when I read her these lines.
