• LG’s premium OLED TVs are now getting screensaver ads, according to a new report.

Advertising is pervasive on many streaming boxes, and we’ve also seen this trend on cheap TVs. Now, it turns out that even high-end OLED TVs are getting ads.

These full-screen ads reportedly appear for an unspecified amount of time before a conventional screensaver kicks in. The ad seen by the outlet promoted LG’s free ad-supported TV service.
