For older LG webos TVs, the delay between button push and action in the settings app can get as bad as 4 seconds.

The reason I bought it:

Samsung pushed ads agressively on their TVs
I had an HP tablet with webOS before and wondered what LG did with it after taking over the development. I was horrified.

The hardware is not much better. There's constantly something wrong. But the LCD panel is pretty decent, so I just patch it up every time, rather than throwing it out.

In Spanish "WebOS" sounds exactly as if you were saying "huebos" which is slang for testicles.

Just a tidbit for your day to go just that much faster.
