To be fair, TVs from the 90s didn't have apps, and I don't actually use the apps on my LG, so it seems fine.
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:
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.
