We’ve had an LG for ages now - at least ten years - and it has been excellent. They seem to have recently dropped the ITV hub, which is annoying, but we can get it on the fire stick. A friend has a Sony, and it dropped so many apps that it’s barely smart.
I would get another LG happily, but would always have a stick (Amazon, NOW or Roku) as it seems that they can all stop supporting the catch-up apps apparently on a whim. I think that is quite shoddy, as most people will take the apps into account when choosing a model.
