Edit: thank you for all the kind suggestions! 🩷 I ended up keeping my current TV for now. I was this 🤏 close to buying a 48 inch LG B6E. Just before heading to the store, I got cold feet and decided to look through the settings of my current TV again. It’s a 43 inch Panasonic 6700 from 2020. I don’t know how I didn’t realize this until now, but I was actually able to remove ALL preinstalled apps, which made the TV way snappier. I also found, after an unreasonable amount of digging, that there is a setting under input sources - HDMI 1 called HDMI Ultra HD that was TURNED OFF by default. 😱 My only gripe with my Panasonic is that it emits a lot of heat. When I checked out the LG earlier today, it barely felt hot at all… Well well… The heatwave is passing anyways, so… 😅
