Android TV or LG TV - need a little bit help

[looking111 30]

Hello all, 

as recommended by a good friend and also by our electronics dealer, I would like to buy an LGTV. But I'm a bit unsure about the webOS 23. In test reports you always read about a lot of advertising directly from the OS and that you can no longer use it after a few years because you no longer get updates. 

But I'm only interested in very good picture quality and LG has that and of course the Emby app. That's all I need.  LG Modell oled77c38LA

At the moment I have Ka-gis with Android TV and apart from the really bad panel I have no problems. If it works well with webOS 23, I would be very happy to switch. I mostly watch HD or 4K BluRay's with MKV backed up to the DB. 

Can you help me a little further here?

Hi.  Buy the TV that gives you the best picture.  If the internal OS isn't what you want, just get a streaming stick of your choice.

I hadn't thought of it like that before... I guess I'm a bit old school. What exactly would you have thought of? Because I don't use Google, Amazon or Microsoft because of data security. Only services that are needed are activated on the central firewall.

I have now received the device of my choice (OLED77C38LA). Incredible picture. Emby is awesome on LG. Really really nice.

What are your thoughts on the LG OLED77C38LA's webOS 23 and its long-term usability, especially considering concerns about advertisements and updates?

I took a look at the data protection. Strangely enough, LG seems to adhere to data protection for the most part if you deactivate all functions for this. But it's not made easy. 
In my case, however, I don't care because the device is in its own VLAN. In addition, only a few things are explicitly enabled in the central firewall. This means that the device is as good as offline.
