That's strange, the LG CX series are the mid to premium range from LG being OLED? I am willing to pay more to avoid ads but putting ads on premium models now leads to why should I pay more if I'm going to see ads anyway so might as well get the cheaper model/brand that was good enough but avoided because of ads.
I was looking the LG CX at christmas but decided to go with the Sony X9500 as could get a bigger screen for the same price and nervous around screen burn on oled of the lg cx.
The reason I was looking the LG CX / Sony specifically was because of lack of (or perceived lack of) ads compared to say Samsung who are well known for this. Both TV's had good feedback on the user-interface being fast and user friendly.
I'm now glad I went with the Sony. The Sony's seem to be running a pretty stock Android TV UI so haven't seen any ads or annoying things so far. In fact it's working better than the Xiaomi Mi Android tv box I had previously with my old TV. It's faster, not as buggy, supports Airplay and AppleTV, I was quite pleased after updating having one remote, no third party boxes plugged in and a seamless UI with what appears stock like android tv.
I hope Sony don't do an update pushing ads. Saying that I run a dns blocker on my router so maybe I do get ads but they are blocked.
Ads / bigdata seems to be the bullshit jobs of the modern world with ads driving us more and more to a dystopian future with more data acquisition then driving more ads then driving more data acquisition and on.
