My mom's LG is so slow it was rage inducing and it's a new tv. My Samsung is better but still not great. The remotes are both terrible and neither is anywhere near the speed of an old apple tv.
There's also still privacy issues. One of the reasons the TV's are cheap these days is because they sell your data.
The biggest fault here would be whoever was in charge of that bridge. If it collapsed 9 years ago why was it not blocked off?
